| Additional information |
Aguascalientes issued copper emergency coinage in 1915 under the authority of the Constitutionalist forces, part of the chaotic proliferation of state and local currency that erupted across Mexico during the Revolution's most fractured phase. The central government had effectively ceased to function as a monetary authority, leaving individual states, military commanders, and even haciendas to produce their own coin. The curved-bottom 2 variety distinguishes this piece from the straight-bottom version — a die difference that almost certainly reflects multiple engravers working without coordination under field conditions.
