1914 Mexico 10 Pesos Chihuahua Revolutionary Note – Estado de Chihuahua – Red Treasury Seal – VF
1914 Mexican 10 Pesos banknote was issued by the Estado de Chihuahua during the Mexican Revolution, when regional governments were authorized to produce emergency currency under military decree. These notes circulated locally during one of the most turbulent periods in Mexican history and were never intended for long-term use, making survivors highly collectible today.
The obverse features the denomination “Diez Pesos” prominently at center, flanked by engraved portrait medallions of revolutionary-era political figures. The note bears official signatures, serial numbers, and the military decree dated February 1914, confirming its legitimacy as revolutionary emergency money.
The reverse showcases a detailed architectural vignette of a major government building in Chihuahua, framed by elaborate ornamental borders. A striking red overprint treasury seal from the Tesorería General del Estado de Chihuahua authenticates the note’s issuance and adds strong visual contrast against the green engraved background.
High-denomination Chihuahua revolutionary notes such as this 10 Pesos are scarcer than the 1 and 5 Peso issues and are especially desirable among collectors of Mexican Revolution currency, Latin American banknotes, and world paper money.
