The Gobierno Convencionista emerged from the 1914 Convention of Aguascalientes, the revolutionary assembly that briefly united Villista and Zapatista factions against Carranza. By 1916, that alliance had effectively collapsed, and Morelos was one of the last redoubts where Zapatista authority still held enough ground to justify issuing paper currency. The Tipografía del Gobierno de Cuernavaca was a local print shop, not a security printer — these notes were produced with whatever resources the Zapatista administration could muster in an increasingly besieged state.
Carrancista forces retook Cuernavaca in May 1916, shortly after this series was issued, which severely curtailed circulation. Surviving examples tend to show little wear for precisely that reason.
