1 Peso Tesorería General del Estado

The Tesorería General del Estado de Chihuahua issued emergency fractional currency throughout 1913 as the revolution utterly disrupted normal commerce and drained coin from circulation. Chihuahua was effectively Villista territory by this point, and state-level treasury notes became the practical medium of exchange precisely because federal currency was distrusted or simply unavailable.

Printed in-house by the government's own press, the production quality reflects wartime expediency rather than any considered monetary design program. Notes from this series are frequently found with cancellations, overstamps, or manuscript annotations — artifacts of a treasury improvising under pressure.
