| Opmerkingen |
The Gobierno Provisional de Mexico emisssions of 1914 belong to the chaotic currency fragmentation of the Mexican Revolution, when dozens of military factions, regional governments, and provisional authorities were printing their own money simultaneously. Carranza's constitutionalist movement, under whose broad umbrella this note was issued, had no stable treasury and relied on rapidly produced local currency to pay troops and move supplies.
Gray pasteboard rather than proper banknote stock points to genuine wartime scarcity of materials — this is not a design choice.
