| Obverse description | A crudely rendered bow and arrow device occupies the center of the field, depicted in a primitive engraving style characteristic of insurgent emergency coinage. Below the bow-and-arrow device, the inscription SUD appears in bold raised letters, serving as an abbreviation for 'Sud' (South), identifying the southern insurgent forces under General José María Morelos. The overall design is stark and unadorned, reflecting the rudimentary striking conditions of the Oaxacan insurgent mint. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show the characteristic roughness of cast copper coinage. |
