Description: A nice very fine one hundred pesos banknote issued by "Banco Nacional De Mexico" in Mexico. This is the July 26, 1897 (the year appears to be printed on the year 1888, but we are not certain) banknote which is printed in black over a yellow and brown underprint. The front depicts the image of a sitting female (Justice) with a sword in her hand to the right and the portrait of M. Garcia Teruel within an oval to the left of center. The front also displays the date, denomination, and four signatures. The front also has a red round seal near the left edge. The back is blue with the image of a spread eagle holding a snake in its talons. The back has a blue scalloped treasury seal near the top left of center. This particular note has the serial number 160720 printed in red twice on the front but not on the back. This is a series M per the red notation at the bottom left corner and series G4 per the red notation at the top right corner. The banknote is graded 30 Very Fine by PMG and comes in a plastic holder so labeled. A very nice note to add to your collection.
