$1, $5 and $10 notes of the Banco Peninsular Mexicano

The bank otiginally used notes $5 and $10 of the Banco Yucateco, which it overprinted "Banco Peninsular Mexicano". Some of these were recycled, including notes had already been overprinted for use in Campeche and Ciudad Carmen, and some brand new issues. It is probable that it restamped noted from all the original issue dates.

The bank had a $1 note produced by the American Book and Printing Company soon after Huerta relaxed the restrictions of the Ley General, adapted from the earlier $1 Banco Yucateco note.

El Imparcial reported on 15 November 1913 that the bank, through José Rosado, had asked permission to issue 50c and $1 notes, which was likely to be granted, though given the amount of 50c tostones being minted at the Casa de Moneda, the lower value would probably not be neededEl Imparcial, México, 15 November 1913. Later it was reported that the bank had received permission from the Secretaría de Hacienda to issue $500,000 in $1 notesEl Economista Mexicano, 25 July 1914.

Some of these notes have a three-letter code stamped in purple in the top right, just above the dock scene. These could refer to an employee in the bank or the person or company to which the notes were consigned (though the range of letters seems limited).
