| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse bears two applied countermarks struck upon the field of the host coin. The first is the rectangular ENSAIE countermark, containing the legend ENSAIE (meaning 'assay' or 'trial') within a serrated border. The second is the Morelos Type A monogram countermark, depicting an interlaced 'M' and 'o' cypher within a circular beaded border, referencing insurgent leader José María Morelos. Both countermarks are clearly impressed and partially overlap the underlying host coin design, which remains visible beneath them. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The ENSAIE countermark — struck by insurgent forces loyal to Miguel Hidalgo during the earliest phase of the Mexican War of Independence — was applied to existing Spanish colonial coinage to assert rebel monetary authority without the infrastructure to mint new coins. Morelos added his own countermark after Hidalgo's execution in 1811, continuing the practice as the insurgency reorganized under his command. Both marks on a single host coin indicate it passed through at least two distinct phases of rebel circulation, a relatively uncommon survival.
