| Additional information |
Durango's 1914 copper centavo is a product of the Mexican Revolution's near-total collapse of federal monetary authority. With Victoriano Huerta's government unable to supply currency to rebel-held territories, individual states and military factions began striking their own emergency coinage. Durango fell under Constitutionalist control during this period, and local coin production was one of several improvised measures to keep commerce functional in a state effectively cut off from Mexico City.
Many of these provincial revolutionary issues were struck with whatever copper stock was available, accounting for the weight inconsistencies commonly documented across surviving examples of KM#625.
