Condition: I would grade this banknote as very fine with all the details being well preserved. The note's paper is thick and retains some of its original stiffness and crispiness. the note has three vertical creases and a light horizontal fold. The colors of the note are still evident with some fading and the creases show soiling along the creased lines. It is lightly soiled, but has no pinholes, or graffiti. The corners are intact and squared with minimum rounding and some light bumps. The note has no tears and no splits. The edges are intact and show minimum roughness. A nice note worthy of a spot in your collection of Mexican banknotes. Please see scans for additional condition information.
