$1 Ejercito Constitucionalista notes


The control letter changed every 50,000 notes and was based on Benito Juárez’s maxim ‘Elrespeto al derecho ajeno es la paz’{footnote}On 15 July 1867, with the restoration of theRepublic, Juárez addressed Congress with these words: "Mexicanos: encaminemos ahoratodos nuestros esfuerzos a obtener y a consolidar los beneficios de la paz. Bajo sus auspicios,será eficaz la protección de las leyes y de las autoridades para los derechos de todos loshabitantes de la República. Que el pueblo y el gobierno respeten los derechos de todos. Entrelos individuos, como entre las naciones, el respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz. Confiemos en que todos los mexicanos, aleccionados por la prolongada y dolorosa experiencia de las comunidades de la guerra, cooperaremos en el bienestar y la prosperidadde la nación que sólo pueden conseguirse con un inviolable respeto a las leyes, y con laobediencia a las autoridades elegidas por el pueblo."{/footnote}. The first sequence of1,500,000 notes had this 30-letter sequence with an Arabic numeral 1: the second repeated themaxim ten times with Roman control numerals and serial numbers running from 1 to 15000000:the third serquence again repeated the maxim with Roman control numerals starting at I andserial numbers starting at 150001.

At first the control letter and numbers were printed in a san serif font (with Arabic 1 occasionallyused instead of a Roman I, probably because of a lack of type) but halfway through the secondsequence they were changed to a serif font.

The first four codes(E-I, L-I, R-I, e-I)are known vertically ( E-I , L-I , R-I and E-I )as well ashorizontally.

To date no notes between control letters E-I (1150001-1200000) and S-XXV (1200001-1250000) have been recorded, which suggests that the sequence jumped from E-I to S-XXV.

Note that to date no note has been recorded from the sequence E I 1500001 to E XXXVIV3200000 and something might have gone amiss with these notes.

Anomalies

Certain numbering anomalies have been recorded. These could be caused by a variety offactors.

When Villa’s officials took over in Ciudad Juárez, they seized $1,000,000. This money had notbeen numbered and Villa’s officials began the work of stamping it, though the Carranza agentsmade away with the secret numerical code{footnote} Albuquerque Journal, 6 July1914{/footnote}.

One set of notes have the control C I. Known examples include 609232 , 615513, 701243 , 808853 and 1008258.

Certain instances could be attributed to the change in lettering not being made in strictconformance with the 50,000. For example:
