| Comments |
The Ejército Constitucionalista — Venustiano Carranza's constitutionalist forces — issued a flood of emergency paper during 1913–1915 as the revolutionary factions each printed their own currency to fund operations and deny resources to rivals. These notes circulated in a monetary environment of almost total chaos: Villista pesos, Zapatista notes, and Huertista federal currency all competed simultaneously, with exchange rates shifting by the week and merchants frequently refusing all of them.
P#S523 belongs to a series notorious for widespread contemporary counterfeiting, which the Carranza administration itself acknowledged in subsequent circulars.
