| Comments |
El Imperio Mexicano — Agustín de Iturbide's short-lived First Mexican Empire — issued paper currency in 1823 during a period of acute fiscal desperation. The empire collapsed the same year; Iturbide abdicated in March 1823 and was exiled, meaning these notes had an operational lifespan of months at most. Originals are extraordinarily rare, which is precisely why replicas exist in the first place.
This is a replica. Prospective buyers should note that clearly before any other consideration.
