Tesorerías Municipales

We know of instances of vales with a common design from at least three contiguous districts (Mascota, Talpa and Tomatlán) in the east of the state. All are for local circulation and were redeemable by the local Tesorería Municipal in quantities of five pesos.

This suggests that the authorities in each of these districts might have issue vales in at least four denominations (5c, 10c, 20c and 50c) between November 1914 and June 1915.

Mascota

A 50c dated November 1914.
