The P#50 series was printed by ABNC during a period when Banco de México still contracted most of its high-denomination work abroad — domestic printing capacity wouldn't meaningfully displace American and British firms until the late 1950s. The 100 Peso denomination at this date was a substantial sum, roughly equivalent to several weeks' wages for an industrial worker, so circulation wear on surviving examples tends to be light rather than absent.
Watch for the ABNC plate number in the lower margin — useful for separating print runs within the series.
