50 Centavos Sinaloa General Treasury

The Tesorería General del Estado de Sinaloa issued fractional emergency currency in 1914 as the Revolution severed supply lines for coin and disrupted federal monetary authority across northern Mexico. Sinaloa was not alone — dozens of Mexican states, municipalities, and private enterprises printed their own low-denomination paper during this period — but relatively few state treasuries used an identifiable local printer. La Nacional, A. Díaz de León e Hijos operated out of Mazatlán and handled commercial and government printing for the region, making this one of the more traceable productions in the Sinaloa fractional series.

Cartón currency from this period frequently disintegrated in circulation. Survivors are disproportionately unissued remainders.
