Owner's Description

The earliest date for the 10 pesos notes issued by the Banco Minero de Chihuahua is 9th May 1914, which ran from Series A29 at S/N 330,001 with a Series change every 2500 notes to Series D29 340,000. The note in this set is Series D29 and S/N 339498, so close to end of this initial group with the overall sequence continuing until S/N 630,000. I wonder if anyone has an example of every Series? The note features an allegorical female figure with a shield depicting the coat-of-arms for Mexico, which also appears on the back of the note.
