| Additional information |
Hidalgo del Parral, a mining city in Chihuahua, issued this peso in 1913 under the authority of the Constitutionalist provisional government as the Mexican Revolution fractured the country's monetary system. With Federalist forces and various revolutionary factions each controlling different territories, local authorities and mine operators could not rely on Mexico City for coin supply and struck their own issues to meet payroll and commerce needs. The Parral district's silver mining infrastructure made local production practical in a way it simply wasn't elsewhere.
KM#611 is among the more substantial of the revolutionary provisional issues, and its weight reflects access to raw silver rather than the debased or cardboard emergency money appearing simultaneously in other zones.
