| Obverse description | Central device depicting a bow with a cross above, rendered in crude relief typical of insurgent cast coinage. Below the bow, the field bears the abbreviated legend •T•C• and •SUD• in two lines, referencing Tierra Caliente and the southern insurgent region. The overall design is stark and utilitarian, reflecting the improvised nature of this emergency wartime issue. The coin surface is irregular and slightly concave, characteristic of the sand-casting technique employed by Morelos's forces. |
