| Obverse description | Rectangular countermark applied to the field of a host coin, bearing the incuse letters 'LCM' (standing for La Comandancia Militar, i.e. The Military Command) within a recessed rectangle. The countermark is prominently struck, partially obscuring the underlying design elements of the original host coin. This Royalist countermark was used during the Mexican War of Independence to authenticate and validate circulating coinage for use by the loyalist military forces. |
