10 Pesos El Banco de Aguascalientes

El Banco de Aguascalientes was one of the smaller regional concession banks operating under Mexico's 1897 Ley General de Instituciones de Crédito, which granted state-chartered banks the right to issue circulating notes backed by metallic reserves. The bank's charter was tightly tied to the economic interests of the silver-mining sector in Aguascalientes, and its note-issuing privileges were effectively extinguished when Huerta's government nationalized the concession banking system in 1913.

ABNC produced this series with their characteristic intaglio precision. The plate work is consistent with their Mexican regional bank contracts of the period, several of which used shared border and lathe-work elements across different issuing institutions.
