Comments

The P#52 series had an unusually long print run — nearly three decades — which means examples range from the late 1940s issues, when Mexico's postwar industrial boom made high-denomination notes genuinely necessary, through to the inflationary 1970s, when 1000 pesos was losing its purchasing power faster than the series could be retired. Dating individual notes within this span requires checking the signature combinations: the Banco de México cycled through multiple Cajero and Interventor pairings, and catalog values diverge sharply between the earlier and later signature types.

ABNC printed the series in New York throughout — a long-standing arrangement between the bank and the company that predates this issue by decades.
