Comment
This G. C. stamp has been interpreted by some as the abbreviation of General Carrasco, but the more probable reading is Gobierno Constitucionalista (Constitutional Government).Interesting fact
The 1915 Sinaloa 1 Peso coin is countermarked with a small "S" on the obverse, indicating that it was issued by the State of Sinaloa during the Mexican Revolution. This coin is one of the few examples of a state-issued currency during that time, making it a unique and interesting piece of Mexican numismatic history.
