| Additional information |
The late 1860s were an extraordinarily unstable period for Mexican coinage. Maximilian's imperial regime collapsed in 1867 with his execution at Querétaro, and the restored republic under Juárez immediately moved to reassert monetary authority across a mint network that had been operating under competing sovereignties for years. This series was struck at multiple branch mints — Alamos, Chihuahua, Culiacán, Durango, Guanajuato, Hermosillo, Mexico City, Oaxaca, San Luis Potosí, and Zacatecas — each with its own assayer marks, and quality control varied dramatically between them.
The Oaxaca mint in particular was notorious for irregular planchet preparation during this window.
