Tamaulipas was one of several Mexican states that exercised emergency note-issuing authority during the turbulent early years of the Restored Republic, when federal monetary infrastructure remained thin and regional commerce demanded locally backed instruments. The Crédito del Estado series was not a banking operation in any modern sense — these notes drew on the credit of the state government itself, a arrangement that made redemption contingent on political stability the region could not reliably guarantee.
The "G" suffix in the Pick reference denotes a remainder or unissued example in most cataloging conventions for this series, a detail worth confirming against the specific specimen before ascribing circulation history.
