| Weight | 5.92 Gram, 24 x 22 Millimeter, Copper | | Obverse | Bow and Arrow • SUD below | | Reverse | SMO Monogram (for Morelos) above • 2 | | The Coin | A nice, presentable example, well above average centering on both sides and a very good strike on the reverse | For that reason, the insurgents minted their own currency to pay their troops
The insurgent mintings were done with rudimentary methods, and because the insurgents had no silver supply, they minted just a few coins from that metal and most from copper
In other words, they could be exchanged for their face value in gold and silver coins upon the triumph of the revolution
The coins were manufactured in silver and copper, both smelted and minted
