| Additional information |
Oaxaca's Provisional Government under Guillermo Meixueiro issued its own coinage in 1915 as the state effectively operated as a sovereign entity, refusing to recognize Carranza's Constitutionalist government during the Mexican Revolution's most fractured phase. The series was struck on crude local dies with irregular quality — not a production shortcoming but a reflection of the improvised infrastructure of a breakaway administration minting coins under wartime conditions.
Most pieces saw genuine circulation within the state, and survivors with honest wear are more historically coherent than the cleaned or artificially preserved examples that occasionally surface.
