Additional information

Campo Morado was a silver-mining district in Guerrero controlled by the Zapata-aligned forces during the Revolution, and this copper piece was struck there as a purely local emergency issue in 1915 when federal currency had collapsed and small change had essentially ceased to exist across rural Mexico. The extraordinary weight range — nearly a two-to-one spread — reflects hand-cut planchet preparation under field conditions rather than any mint facility.
