2 Pesos Gobierno Provisional de Mexico; Flat base on value

The Gobierno Provisional de México notes of 1915 were issued under Venustiano Carranza's faction during the most chaotic phase of the Mexican Revolution, when the country was awash with competing currencies from Villista, Zapatista, Constitutionalist, and Conventionist sources simultaneously. Merchants frequently refused all of them. The state of Veracruz became administratively critical to Carranza precisely because the port city was the primary customs revenue point — making these emissions one of the more financially grounded issues of the period, even if public trust in paper money had largely collapsed.

The "flat base on value" designation distinguishes this from the curved-base numeral variant, a minor typographical difference that creates two catalogued varieties from what was evidently the same print run.
