The Gobierno Provisional de México was Victoriano Huerta's administration — the government formed after the February 1913 coup that ousted and ultimately killed Francisco Madero. Revolutionary factions under Carranza, Villa, and Zapata refused to recognize Huerta's legitimacy from the outset, which meant his paper currency faced immediate rejection across large parts of the country. Notes like this one circulated in an atmosphere of deep political contestation, and their acceptance depended almost entirely on which army controlled the territory you were standing in.
Huerta was forced into exile in July 1914, and the Constitutionalist forces that replaced him wasted no time voiding his emissions. Much of the Provisional government's paper was pulled from use within weeks of his fall.
