but numismatists know . little about this

man or his coinage . Also there are the
various issues struck by the Royalists and
the Central Junta , and the many counter
stamped pieces , the product of the time,
of which for the most part we are ignorant
as to details . This is especially unfortu
nate as these pieces would , with more in
formation , be as interesting as any similar
series issued in Europe .
Without attempting to trace the history
of the present revolution or, rather , series
of revolutions , we can see that the unrest

The first of these revolutionary issues ,
especially inthe North , were struck with
the intention of giving full weight and
value . In the South , the coins were
stamped with values much in excess of
their bullion worth , but
later were fol
lowed in some instances by a pure token
coinage in copper with denominations of
silver coins . The alloying of gold in the
silver coins is interesting . When done
intentionally the amount of gold was
stated on the coin , as in the case of the
Zapata and Oaxaca issues .
The scope of this monograph is the
metallic coinage of the period in question
issued by the different revolutionary bands
and it makes no pretensions of chronicling

regarding crude pieces of silver bullion

457 . 5 grains ) . Silver Plate II .
These dollars , for the most part , show
the design better than did the Buelna
specimens , but the edges were left very
rough and consequently had to be filed
considerably . They can be distinguished
more readily from the Buelna pieces by
their weight . They are also rare because
the bullion value in them was in excess
of their face value , especially as the low
valuation of the paper money made it
profitable to melt them up . They assay
about nine-tenths silver , one- tenth copper ,
and a small showing of gold .
The next issue was a series of struck Parral
Issues
coins made at Parral in Chihuahua . It is

said that the silverhad been confiscated

from near -by mines , and the rumor went
around that they contained considerable
gold . This , however , is probably not so.
There are various conflicting accounts

AND MONOGRAPHS
I2 MEXICO
about these coins . One statement is that
General Maclovio Herrera gave the order
to make this money , another account is
that General Villa personally authorized
it . Both versions may be correct . At
any rate this issue is known as Villa 's
first coinage , and it was probably first
struck in October , 1913 . Although it was
thought that but few were struck , there
is no doubt that a great many pieces were
made — sufficient to meet the demand for
these coins from collectors . This fact
can be stated about these and subsequent
coins of the revolutionists , namely , that
more are undoubtedly seen in the United
States than in Mexico , as the very large
issue of paper and cardboard money very
soon drove out the metallic money . For
another coin issued by General Herrera

Later , the two - peso piece was reduced in
size and weight , and a 50 -centavo piece
was added . Still later , a copper issue
appeared . These ,
for the most part , were
coined in Guerrero at Taxco in the northern
part of the state . This town is sometimes
spelled Tasco . One piece has been noted
with the mint name Atlixtac , a town in
the eastern part of Guerrero . The abbre

melted down all of this coinage they could
find , and destroyed the dies and archives ,
so that today these pieces are scarce ,
especially in the United States . The
denominations issued were as follows :
in gold , 60 , 20 , 10, and 5 pesos ; in silver ,
5 , 2 , and i pesos , 50 and 20 centavos ; in
copper , 20 , 10 , 5, 3, and i centavos .
As there were various changes in designs
and sizes , together with frequent mulings of
obverse and reverse dies , it is claimed that
a complete set of this Oaxaca issue would
number about one hundred and fifty
varieties .
Teofilo Monroy was the director of the
mint and his son Miguel cut the dies ,
although those for the first series of
copper coins were made by an American
resident of the city named De Coe. Some
of the punches used to make them were
those found in the old mint . The obverse

The whole issue bears the date 1915 ,

except the 60 -pesos piece . This coin
was made in the early part of 1916 shortly
before the Carranza forces came in , and
it is said that partly on this account and
partly on account of the scarcity of bullion
but twenty - one of these were struck .
Each of these pieces contained 45 grams
of pure gold .
