Owner's Description:
Only high denomination specimen notes are known for this bank. All of the denominations feature the same basic design with a central vignette of three female figures, representing agriculture, commerce and industry flanked by the value – 100, 500 or 1000 pesos. The note included in this set is an example of the later note as it reminded me of the classic British ‘Three Graces’ motif and I was delighted to secure an example without a stamp across the middle obscuring the design. On the back of th... | Owner's Description:
The selected note for the State is a remainder example of the 1 peso issue (S272r, M331r) which has a shield bearing the State Coat of Arms flanked by Liberty and Concorda (harmony) rather than a vignette highlighting agriculture, mining or commerce. Series A and B seem to have been issued, Series C (this note) are known as remainders and Series G (January 1914) is also mentioned – possibly destroyed or also as remainders? One of my reasons for selecting this note is actually the design on the b... |

Owner's Description:
The example note for this Set is a 50 pesos (S301s2, M364r1), printed by the ABNC, which is cancelled with a needle punched 'AMORTIZADO' and it seems to be common for the Guerrero issues that the tops of the letters are missing - I guess they couldn't be bothered to fix the punch. It is a Series B note which was printed in 1914 and it appears that serial numbers 10001 to 14000 were issued yet the remainder of the run 140001 to 20000 was not, no doubt due to yet another revolutionary war. The fr... | Owner's Description:
A specimen 5 pesos note from Series C (1908, S320, M385) of the ABNC printing represents the State and as the lowest denomination is one of the more readily available notes in high grade. Contemporary counterfeits of this note exist (S328, M386) with the easiest way to tell being that the name of the printer is not correct and they are often unsigned remainders. Some notes from the first two series, A and B, may also be found with Branch overprints for Tepic, Zamora and Zapotlan. Surprisingly, t... |

| Owner's Description:
Included in the Impossible Set, is an example of a signed 5 centavos note, which does not have the Hacienda stamps, and as such probably came from the hoard. The serial number also falls in the range reported. The front depicts an agricultural scene of a team of oxen ploughing which is flanked by two allegorical female figures representing agriculture and commerce. The back has an image of the main Hacienda building. |

Pope Boniface VIII made Louis IX a saint in 1297. The reason for establishing the first Spanish settlement in the state the Cerro de San Pedro and its prod... | Owner's Description:
The note included for the Impossible Set is an example of a specimen of the 1000 pesos note (S435s1; M526s) for Series A with the S/N 00000 in red and SPECIMEN horizontal overprint in red at the bottom centre. Unlike the other notes in this Set Series A notes were printed before 1911 when ABNC made a change to the text and thus ‘de de 190’ is present on the note. In addition to the text change post 1911 specimen notes leave the Series letter blank and have two SPECIMEN overprints. The front of t... |
