Banco de México turned to the American Bank Note Company for this series at a time when domestic printing infrastructure couldn't meet the quality or volume demands of a modernizing currency program. The relationship between Mexican issuers and ABNC stretched back decades, and the engraved intaglio work on P#28 reflects the company's standard high-security production of the period.
The series ran across an unusually long window — seven years spanning a major world war — with production and delivery logistics complicated by wartime shipping constraints after 1941. Notes dated toward the end of the range are considerably scarcer than early issues.
