Beschrijving voorzijde Central device depicts a radiant Phrygian cap atop a pike, surrounded by alternating long and short rays emanating outward to fill the field, with the word LIBERTAD inscribed across the cap. The circular legend ESTADO DE AGUASCALIENTES curves along the upper periphery, while the mintmaster initials R.M. appear at the base, flanked by small decorative sprigs. The design is primitively engraved, characteristic of the emergency coinage produced during the Mexican Revolution.

Aanvullende informatie

Aguascalientes issued copper fractional coinage in 1915 under the authority of the Constitutionalist forces controlling the state during the Mexican Revolution's most chaotic phase. With the national monetary system effectively collapsed and Villista, Zapatista, and Carrancista factions each issuing their own emergency currency, local governments struck whatever denominations daily commerce demanded. These 2 centavos pieces filled the near-total void in small change.

Copper Revolutionary coinage from Aguascalientes is notably short-lived as a series — the Constitutionalists consolidated monetary authority quickly once Carranza's faction gained dominance.
