| Additional information |
Oaxaca fell under insurgent control in late 1812 when José María Morelos seized the city, and these emergency issues were struck to fund the independence campaign against the Spanish crown. The provisional government operated the mint only briefly before royalist forces retook the region in 1814, making the production window extremely narrow.
