Anmerkungen

Banco de Comercio was one of several regional Mexican banks still attempting to function during the most chaotic phase of the Revolution. By 1915, the Constitutionalist government under Carranza was aggressively nationalizing and closing private banks, making notes of this period more artifacts of institutional collapse than of normal commercial banking. Whether this issue actually circulated in any meaningful volume before the bank was effectively shuttered is an open question.

ABNC's involvement was routine for Mexican private bank issues of the era — the plates were produced in New York regardless of what was happening across the border.
