hatching at the bottom of the central vignette incomplete (tienen al fondo del centro con el rayado incompleto) | |
the background to ‘EJERCITO CONSTITUCIONALISTA DE MEXICO’ is lighter |
This note has been cancelled with a 'NULO' overprint but it might have been because of the lack of a Secretaría seal and control letters rather than because it was counterfeit.
