| Comments |
The Gobierno Provisional de México issues of 1915 emerged from the extreme monetary chaos of the Constitutionalist period, when multiple competing factions were printing their own paper and the public had little basis for trusting any of it. Veracruz served as Carranza's provisional capital from late 1914, and the treasury press there — the Oficina del Gobierno — turned out a succession of low-denomination notes as federal finances lurched from one crisis to the next.
The "curved base on value" designation distinguishes this variety from flat-base printings of the same denomination — a minor typographic difference that the cataloguers treat as a separate variety, almost certainly reflecting a plate correction mid-run rather than a deliberate redesign.
