Comment
NOTE: All Insurgent coins where basically made by guerrilla armies during the Independence war. Most States had some well established designs, but Puebla Insurgent Coinage is the one with the most spurious, apocryphal and amateur mints. So even Mexico City Mint has trouble determining the official designs and those fake.Interesting fact
The 2 Reales coin from the State of Puebla, issued in 1813 as part of the Insurgent Coinage, features an image of a serpent on the reverse side, which symbolizes the struggle for independence and freedom.
