1000 Pesos Banco Minero

Banco Minero was a Chihuahua-based regional bank operating under Mexico's 1897 Ley General de Instituciones de Crédito, which permitted select state banks to issue their own circulating notes. The American Bank Note Company handled the entire series, as it did for most Mexican concession banks of the period — ABNC held near-total dominance over quality Mexican private bank printing by the turn of the century.

The 1000 Peso denomination was not everyday commerce money. At that value it functioned primarily in large commercial transactions and interbank settlement. When the Revolution disrupted Chihuahua's banking infrastructure after 1913, Banco Minero notes above 100 Pesos became increasingly difficult to redeem, and the 1000 remained in technical circulation until the bank's forced liquidation under Carranza's 1916 banking decree.
