1 Centavo Army of the North

The Army of the North (Ejército del Norte) coinage from Jalisco belongs to the chaotic Revolutionary period when central monetary authority had effectively collapsed and regional commanders issued their own currency to pay troops and purchase supplies. These provincial emissions were authorized under military necessity, not federal mandate, and many circulated only within the territory a given faction actually controlled.

KM#675 is among the more modestly produced of the Revolutionary coppers. Jalisco's issues from 1915 saw limited geographic reach as Carrancista forces consolidated control through the region that same year.
