1914 Mexico 10 Pesos Chihuahua Revolutionary Note – Yellow Underprint Variety – Red Treasury Seal – VF
1914 Mexican 10 Pesos Revolutionary banknote was issued by the Estado de Chihuahua during the Mexican Revolution, a period marked by political upheaval and the issuance of regional emergency currency. This example features the desirable yellow underprint variety, making it more visually distinctive and scarcer than the standard orange or buff-toned issues.
The obverse prominently displays “Diez Pesos”, flanked by engraved portrait medallions of revolutionary-era political figures. Official signatures, serial numbers, and the military decree dated February 1914 confirm the note’s legitimacy as emergency currency authorized during the revolution.
The reverse shows a finely engraved architectural vignette of a government building in Chihuahua, surrounded by ornate borders and security elements. A bold red overprint treasury seal from the Tesorería General del Estado de Chihuahua authenticates the note’s circulation and provides striking contrast against the green reverse design.
High-denomination Chihuahua notes with colored underprints, such as this yellow variety, are especially sought after by collectors for their limited circulation, regional specificity, and strong visual appeal. This piece represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a historically significant and increasingly scarce example of Mexican Revolutionary currency.
