1914 Mexico 1 Peso Chihuahua Revolutionary Note – Estado de Chihuahua – Red Treasury Seal – VF+
1914 Mexican 1 Peso note was issued by the Estado de Chihuahua during the Mexican Revolution, a turbulent period when regional governments produced their own emergency currency. These notes were authorized under military decree and circulated locally during a time of political upheaval and economic instability.
The obverse displays the denomination “Un Peso”, flanked by engraved portrait medallions of key political figures, along with official signatures and serial numbers. The design reflects early 20th-century engraving techniques, combining functionality with strong visual authority.
The reverse features an architectural vignette of a prominent government building in Chihuahua, framed by elaborate ornamental borders. A red overprint treasury seal from the Tesorería General del Estado de Chihuahua adds both visual impact and historical significance, marking the note’s official validation during revolutionary circulation.
Notes from this revolutionary period are highly sought after due to their short circulation life, regional specificity, and direct connection to one of the most important eras in Mexican history. This example offers excellent eye appeal for the grade and is an ideal addition to any Mexican Revolution, Latin American, or world paper money collection.
