Another Bradbury Wilkinson issue

In October 1887 a newspaper^{El Financiero Mexicano, [ ] October 1887, quoted in El Coahuilense, Época 2ª, Tomo II, Núm. 56, 12 October 1887} reported that the bank had made an new issue of notes, produced by Bradbury Wilkinson and Company, of London, England. They were said to have been issued to replace the well-worn and not especially artistic notes currently in circulation (obviously the first Bradbury Wilkinson issue rather that the ABNC notes) as they were on extra-resistant paper and would last a long time despite use.

Strangely the report says that the notes carried the bust of President Juárez and other first magistrates on their face, obviously a reference to an earlier proposal before it was decided to have Juárez on every denomination. The vignette on the reverse is of Chapultepec castle.
