Описание реверса Note: Sand molded using regular Peso, KM#409. These are considered the first actual issue of coins made by the revolutionists in the State of Sinaloa in June and July of 1913 from bullion taken from the El Rosario Mine, on the order of General Rafael Buelna. It is said that only 25,000 were cast with poor results, as the casting was executed in coarse sand molds. It is said that they were all melted up in the space of a few days because it was found that a large percentage of gold was in the alloy, which had not been assayed before the pieces were made. Exaggerated tales are told of the amount of gold in these pieces, but these stories must be viewed with considerable skepticism.
