📖 History and Significance:
Venustiano Carranza led the Constitutionalist army during the Mexican Revolution and, as president, oversaw the 1917 Constitution that still governs Mexico today; he was assassinated in 1920. The front reproduces part of "La Trinchera" (The Trench) by the muralist José Clemente Orozco, one of the great works of Mexican muralism. The reverse shows a Chac Mool, the reclining stone figure of Toltec and Maya ceremonial sites. Banco de México printed these peso notes in its own Mexico City works during the era of the "old peso". After the oil boom of the 1970s, the debt crisis of 1982 and inflation that peaked above 150% in 1987, ever-larger denominations were needed, and on 1 January 1993 Mexico introduced the nuevo peso, worth 1,000 old pesos, ending this classic series.

🎨 Design Details:
The obverse shows Venustiano Carranza at left and Orozco's revolutionary soldiers from "La Trinchera" at centre. The reverse shows a Toltec Chac Mool figure with Tula bas-reliefs behind it.

✅ Condition Guide:
AUNC (About Uncirculated). An About Uncirculated note looks almost new: crisp paper, bright original colours and sharp corners, with at most a single light fold, corner flick or minor handling mark from counting. Because we hold multiple quantities in inventory, the exact serial numbers and specific wear patterns will vary. This condition guide represents our overall quality standard rather than the specific flaws of the photographed note.
