Mexico 1884 Fabrica de Tunal 1 Peso ABNC PMG 64 Choice Uncirculated serial A07769

Mexico 1884 – Fábrica de Tunal 1 Peso (Pick Unlisted, ABNC)

Pick Unlisted (M717a) status reflects the Standard Catalog’s omission of non-bank corporate emissions. For researchers, this type is an anchor reference for studying the quasi-monetary ecosystems that formed around industrial enterprises in Durango during the Porfiriato. These ecosystems represent one of the least-documented yet most economically influential layers of Mexican monetary history-private institutions acting as de facto local banks in areas underserved by formal financial networks.
