| Additional information |
The "Caballito" peso takes its nickname from the prancing horse design executed by French sculptor Émile Garnerin Rotgiesser, commissioned as part of Mexico's centennial celebrations marking the 1810 Grito de Dolores — Hidalgo's call to revolution. Production ran from 1910 through 1914, meaning the later dates were struck as the country tore itself apart in the Revolution that Hidalgo's movement had, a century prior, set in motion.
The 1913 and 1914 dates are considerably scarcer, minting having been disrupted by the upheaval following Victoriano Huerta's coup. The Philadelphia Mint assisted with production in certain years due to capacity constraints at Casa de Moneda.
