| Comments |
Banco de Comercio was one of several Mexican state and commercial banks whose operations were effectively ended by the nationalization decrees of 1916 and 1917, part of Carranza's broader effort to consolidate financial authority under the new revolutionary government. Notes from this issuer printed by ABNC were produced before those decrees took hold, which makes their survival partly a function of how quickly individual banks collapsed — some ceased redeeming paper almost immediately when federal pressure arrived.
The ABNC contract for Mexican commercial bank issues during this period was substantial, covering multiple institutions simultaneously. Whether this specific series actually reached widespread circulation before the bank lost its operating authority is unclear.
