| Additional information |
Pattern coinage from the Mexican Mint in this period reflects the profound institutional instability following the Revolution — though by 1919, Carranza's government was attempting to reassert federal monetary authority after years of competing military factions issuing their own currency. Whether this gold peso pattern was struck as a serious proposal for a circulating type or purely as a presentation piece for officials remains debated among specialists. The PL designation in Pradeau's listing suggests it never progressed beyond trial status.
