| Additional information |
Zacatlán de las Manzanas, a stronghold in the sierra north of Puebla, fell under insurgent control early in the independence struggle and became one of several regional nodes issuing emergency coinage outside royalist authority. These copper pieces were struck as the insurgency under Morelos reached its greatest territorial extent, before the tide turned decisively against the rebel movement after 1814.
KM#250 is among the more documented of the provincial insurgent issues, though surviving examples vary wildly in execution — the dies were locally cut under field conditions with no mint infrastructure behind them.
