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 the note depicts two seated female figures representing industry and trade, a child stands between them holding flaming torches, possibly a depiction of the fledging State. The back, as for all denominations, is the Tampico coat of arms.
