| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central field bears the denomination fraction 1/4 above the date, both inscribed in bold relief within an open wreath of laurel branches that encircles the entire design. The legend LIBERTAD EN EL ORDEN is distributed around the periphery, interrupted by the wreath, with LIBERTAD appearing across the upper portion and EN EL ORDEN across the lower portion. The composition is simple and typographically direct, characteristic of the provisional copper coinage issued by the State of Durango during the Reform War era. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Durango's copper quartos were emergency fiduciary issues, authorized by state governments after the Reform War left Mexico's federal minting infrastructure in ruins and small-denomination silver essentially disappeared from commerce. The state of Durango operated with considerable autonomy during this period — first under Liberal, then Conservative, then Liberal control again — and local copper coinage filled a vacuum that Mexico City was in no position to address.
The 1860–1866 window spans the Reform War's aftermath, the French Intervention, and the installation of Maximilian's empire. That a single copper type persisted through such violent administrative upheaval speaks to how desperately ordinary commerce needed fractional currency of any legitimate origin.
