1917 Emergency Circulating Note Series

This are the first items that I've got from E-bay. Hard to find notes from 1917 which was offered in a complete set(10 centavos -1 peso). Basing from the date of these notes, they can be said as a part of the World War I history. I have to say that these notes were a premium, since they are almost uncirculated in condition despite how long the year has been.

The design of these notes are all the same, just having the change in color and denomination.

10 Centavos:


The back of this note is somehow faded probably due to the way it was printed.



20 Centavos:





50 Centavos:


1 Peso:


What's interesting about these notes is that they are equivalent in gold value instead of the usual note that is equivalent to silver. I hope you like these note as well.
