The P#30 is one of several ABNC-printed issues from the mid-1930s that emerged as Banco de México was consolidating its monopoly on currency issuance — a process not fully complete until the banking reform of 1936 itself, which formally ended the lingering privileges of older private and regional banks. The timing of this note's issue and that legislation are not coincidental.
ABNC's work for the Banco de México during this period was consistent and technically accomplished, though the 10 Pesos denomination saw comparatively heavy circulation, and survivors in undamaged condition are harder to find than the raw survival numbers suggest.
