<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 689965, member: 12789&quot;]Actually one of the Mexican notes I bought is from Coahuila, and the vignette on that note is probably one of the more common ones, that being of a young maiden with a scythe, she also appears on numerous Latin American notes, but also countries as far away as Russia in 1918.&nbsp; I will image it next week and put it on my site, but it also is on the Russian 100 Rubles of 1918, the Ecuadorian 5 Sucres of ca. 1920-1949, but was used as early as 1880 on an Ecuadorian commercial bank issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is another lady:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.scottishmoney.net/banknotes/luxembourg/luxembourg100dtl2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>That appeared on the 100 Franc note from Luxembourg in 1944, but she appears on notes in Latin America as early as the 1870&#039;s albeit with different backgrounds on the printing plate.</p><p><br /></p><p>This young lady appears on the Standard Bank of Canada $5 from 1891:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.scottishmoney.net/banknotes/canada/canadastandardbank51891dtl3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But in later life, much later, she appeared on this Peruvian note:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.scottishmoney.net/banknotes/peru/peru101946.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The one from Coahuila is persuading me to buy the Russian and Ecuadorian notes just so I have all the bases covered, but the latter two always sell at ridiculous prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
