The Gobierno Provisional de México issues of 1914 were Carranza's financial infrastructure during the Revolution — printed hastily to fund Constitutionalist operations while the Huerta government still controlled Mexico City. The Tesorería de Veracruz designation matters: after U.S. forces occupied the port in April 1914, Carranza's administration used Veracruz as its effective capital and financial base before taking Mexico City the following year.
Counterfeiting of Constitutionalist emergency notes was rampant. Multiple factions produced competing paper, and provincial treasuries often couldn't distinguish genuine issues from forgeries in the field. Authentication was a genuine operational problem, not a theoretical one.
