== one peso ==

''El Banco De Londres y Mexico'' issued large numbers of notes 1889-1913, in denominations ranging from five to one thousand pesos. Mexican law forbade the issue of note below five pesos. Huerta rescinded this law after seizing power in 1914, and the bank responded by issuing a large amount of one and two pesos notes, all dated 1914. They were printed locally and the bank did not bother with overprints for the branches. All are 160 x 75 mm.

''Recorded issue:'' unknown.

The second specimen was sold in Heritage sale 3514 (Long Beach, CA, September 2011) for $138.

The hundred pesos is ten times the price of a five pesos, 7½ times the price of a ten pesos and four times the price of a twenty pesos.
