The Gobierno Provisional under Victoriano Huerta — whose seizure of power following Madero's assassination in February 1913 triggered a cascade of rival revolutionary currencies — issued this note during one of Mexican numismatics' most chaotic episodes. Multiple factions were simultaneously printing their own paper, and public confidence in any single issue was essentially nil from the outset.
P#S1115 is among the better-documented Huertista emission types, though the series is plagued by forgeries contemporary to the original issue, not merely modern ones.
