Unfortunately, the two most important catalogs on Mexican revolutionary coinage, Guthrie-Bothamley and Amaya, do not include them. Guthrie-Bothamley's catalog is limited to the period 1913-1917.
However, they should definitely be regarded as revolutionary, even though many of the pieces were clearly used as medalets. As Gaytán puts it in his catalog (he included these pieces under Jalisco): the Christero rebellion was not a dispute between buddies, but a fight between a government that was officially atheist and the people that defended its religion.
