| Republic
of Mexico - this series was issued by the Treasury of the Nation on
cancelled Lent Authorization Documents which were dated
1818 and 1819. They were issued on 5.5.1823 on this medium in an attempt to provide confidence in paper currency as the preceding Empire issues were not well received by the public. These notes also proved to be not well received and were soon withdrawn from circulation.
* These notes are actually FOUR
times the size of the Iturbide notes at 8.5" x 12"!!!! Even in Mexico
not many have seen these notes. The catalogs do not convey the size
thru images but have mm sizes.
They were actually printed on
"expired" Lent Authorization Documents. IT IS that the notes notes
were cancelled probably after being withdrawn from circulation. Like
this note there is a CUT CANCEL in the lower left corner which can bee
seen in this images. The Iturbide notes were cancelled in the same
manner, a cut corner cancel. Some of the Revolutionary currency was
cut cancelled. There have been other notes in the world cancelled with
a cut corner and several were
CUT OFF.
