| Obverse description | Insurgent countermark applied to a host coin, depicting an eagle perched atop a cactus and facing left, with a five-pointed star positioned to the left of the eagle. The inscription NORTE appears below the cactus in incuse or relief lettering, identifying the issuing insurgent faction. The countermark is punched into the field of the underlying base coin, the original design of which remains partially visible beneath the applied mark. The overall strike shows typical characteristics of emergency insurgent countermarking, with irregular application and variable depth of impression. |
