5 Pesos El Banco de Aguascalientes

El Banco de Aguascalientes was one of the smaller state-chartered banks operating under Mexico's 1897 Ley General de Instituciones de Crédito, which opened the door to regional note-issuing banks while keeping them tethered to federal oversight. The bank's concession was modest, and circulation of its notes rarely extended far beyond the state itself — by design as much as by geography.

The American Bank Note Company engraved and printed the entire series. ABNC's Mexico work from this period is among the most technically refined commercial banknote printing of the era, and this issue is no exception in terms of intaglio quality.

The series was rendered void following the 1913–1914 collapse of the Porfiriato banking system.
