Saltillo's 1914 federally-branded notes occupy an odd category in Mexican revolutionary finance. La Tesorería de la Federación was the Huerta government's fiscal apparatus, but by mid-1914 Huerta's administration was collapsing under Constitutionalist military pressure from exactly the region where these notes circulated — Coahuila was Venustiano Carranza's home state and the heartland of the opposition.
Whether these saw meaningful circulation before the Constitutionalists swept through is doubtful. Notes issued under Huerta's treasury name in hostile territory were routinely repudiated and destroyed.
