1 Centavo Gobierno

Nuevo León issued its own fractional emergency paper during the Revolutionary period when coin shortages made small-denomination transactions nearly impossible across northern Mexico. These Gobierno issues were local solutions — authorized by the state government rather than any national banking authority — and circulated within a tight regional economy already disrupted by factional conflict between Constitutionalist and Huertista forces in 1914.

At 52 × 29 mm, this is among the smallest pieces of paper money produced during the Mexican Revolution. Survival rates for these cartones are poor; the paper was cheap, the notes were handled constantly, and few were preserved.
