1 Peso Gobierno Constitucionalista de Mexico

The Constitutionalist government of Venustiano Carranza established its provisional capital at Monclova in early 1913 following Victoriano Huerta's coup against Madero. These notes were among the first emergency emissions by the anti-Huerta forces, issued before Carranza had any stable banking infrastructure or federal reserves to speak of — a paper claim on a government that had not yet won its war.

Norris Peters, a Washington engraving and printing firm better known for government documents and patent office work, produced the series. The choice of a foreign printer reflects both Carranza's lack of domestic press capacity and his deliberate effort to project institutional legitimacy to international observers.
