Comments
The silver issues of Villa for 1915 show decided improvement both in workmanship and in striking, although some of the planchets were poorly prepared. They were struck at Chihuahua from bullion taken largely from the Chihuahua Smelter, a part of the American Smelting and Refining Company. The issuing of this coin enabled Villa to recruit many men for the Sonora campaign, as he was able to pay his troops in silver while the other leaders could pay their men only in depreciated paper money. This coinage ran into millions. The obverse side bears the signature of Sevilla (near the ground) and the reverse that of Salazar (beneath "LIBERTAD").
