| Additional information |
Guerrero's revolutionary coinage of 1915 emerged from the near-total breakdown of national currency supply during the Mexican Revolution's most chaotic phase, when Carrancista, Villista, and Zapatista forces each issued competing money that local populations refused to accept. The state government, operating under severe material constraints, produced these copper pieces as emergency fiduciary currency — the weights and flans are notoriously inconsistent across the series, and KM#646 is no exception.
Atlixtac, a small municipal center in the Sierra de Guerrero, lent its name to this emission specifically to distinguish it from concurrent issues authorized by the same state apparatus but struck at different locations.
