Banco de México contracted the American Bank Note Company for much of its mid-century production, and this 100 Peso series reflects that relationship — the ABNC's intaglio work on Mexican notes from this period is among the finer examples of the company's postwar output. The thirteen-year date span is unusually long for a high-denomination issue, suggesting the design was considered politically stable enough to survive multiple administrations without revision.
Pick 55 is not particularly scarce in circulated grades, but crisp uncirculated examples from the early part of the run — pre-1953 — are considerably harder to locate than the later dates.
