| Opmerkingen |
Banco de Comercio was one of several Mexican private commercial banks still attempting to function during the most chaotic years of the Revolution. By 1915, the Constitutionalist government under Carranza was moving aggressively to nationalize banking authority and suppress competing paper currency — notes from institutions like Banco de Comercio were being demonetized or refused outright in large parts of the country, depending on which faction controlled the territory.
ABNC's involvement here is unsurprising; the company held long-standing contracts across Latin America and maintained plate stock that allowed relatively fast turnaround on emergency or low-volume issues. Whether this printing was ever fully distributed into circulation given the political conditions of mid-1915 is genuinely uncertain.
