5 Pesos Gobierno Provisional de Mexico

The Gobierno Provisional de México was Victoriano Huerta's rival administration — specifically, this refers to the Constitutionalist forces under Venustiano Carranza, who established a provisional government at Veracruz after seizing the customs house there in 1914. The port city's fiscal revenues were the financial backbone of the Constitutionalist war effort, and emergency paper emissions like this one were the direct result of that cash dependency.

The revolutionary period produced an almost unmanageable proliferation of local and factional issues, and S1104 sits within a cluster of Veracruz-dated Constitutionalist notes whose actual print runs and issuing dates remain poorly documented. Counterfeiting of Constitutionalist paper was widespread enough that Carranza's government later invalidated and replaced large portions of its own currency.
