| Opmerkingen |
The Comisión Monetaria was a short-lived Mexican monetary body, active in the early twentieth century to manage currency reform following decades of instability. By 1920, Mexico had only recently emerged from the worst of the revolutionary period — the Constitutionalists, the Villistas, and the Zapatistas had all issued competing paper currencies, many of which collapsed entirely. A note from the Comisión Monetaria in that year occupied a peculiar transitional moment, when public trust in paper money remained genuinely fragile.
The Oficina Impresora de Hacienda, the government's own printing bureau, produced this domestically — no foreign security printer involvement.
