Porfirio Díaz ruled Mexico as it's dictator for nearly 44 years, from 1877-1911. Despite having given lip service to democracy, in practice he did not believe in it. In the 1910 election in Mexico it is conjectured that in reality he lost the election, but vote rigging and a refusal to acknowledge reality only prompted him to stay in office, in opposition to Franscisco Madero. Shortly after the election a revolt broke out, which initiated the Mexican Revolution, which lasted from 1910-1920 and saw the rise and fall of several characters in Mexican history, including Díaz, Madero etc. In the end forces led by Venustiano Carranza prevailed and the Mexican constitution of 1917 insured more liberal rule, and some degree of political stability.

 

Thanks!! Great info!!

Several years ago, at the Baltimore Whitman show, I bought from a dealer specializing in Mexican currency the locomotive note and a companion note with a portrait orientation of a priest. Both notes are in a large folder describing what the notes are celebrating. The folder is very large I removed the bills from the folder.



Not my note, Googled the images.

 

I'm a huge fan of old mexican notes by the ABNC, but some of these newer ones look pretty sweet as well!

I'm sure it's my first polymer note of many!

I agree, I've been collecting ABNc Mexican and South American notes for years. I'm amazed at the escalating selling price of these notes.

 

The soliders were called "Adelita" after the classic song from the Revolution called "La Adelita"

Banco De Mexico 200 Pesos Note, Commemorative Note for the Bicentennial of the Independence of Mexico, 15 September 2008, Series A
Front: Miguel Hidalgo with Virgin of Guadalupe banner from a painting by Jesus Enrique Emilio de la Helguera Evans
Back: Angel of Independence Statue atop Paseo de la Reforma (the Independence Monument) in Mexico City
Watermark: Pixel watermark of Angel of Independence torso
Size: 141 x 66 mm

On 23 September 2009, the Bank of Mexico introduced two new commemorative banknotes. The 200-peso paper note celebrates the bicentenial of independence. It is also noteworthy because it's the first note in the world with a new security feature: the Pixel watermark, developed by ArjoWiggins Security.
A new development in the field of multi-tone watermarks, Pixel watermarks consist of patterns of dark dots of varying sizes on light backgrounds to create 3D effects such as the texture on the angel's wing on Mexico's new 200-peso commemorative. According to ArjoWiggins, in the coming months 20 new banknotes will be issued in Asia and Latin America featuring Pixel watermarks.

 

Very different as most notes are offered on a Horizontal plane where these
are on a vertical one, very cool

 

Can someone tell me what this is?

 

its not a regular issue banknote. It might be a private issue or a payment certificate of some kind.
@mpcusa might know!

I upgraded my old ratty 100 ruble to this, slightly less ratty 100 ruble.
