Description
Un Peso Printed Currency. One page, approximately 6" x 4", Mexico City, 1823. Docketed on verso. Issued by the Mexican Empire on January 1, 1823, this was the first currency used in Texas and the first Mexican currency. A beautiful example, this uncommon note bears a decorative border and the great seal of Mexico at the upper center. Handwritten serial number: "N. 46.650." When Austin's Colony was first settled, these notes were used extensively, as hard coin was virtually unknown in Texas. Bright and sharp; light finger smudges on verso. Extremely rare! In very fine condition. From the Taking of Texas Collection.Auction Info
