Hi everyone, I'm a new member in this forum. Thanks for accepting me. Does anyone know whether these vignettes were ever used in a Canadian note? After the chaos of the Mexican Revolution, people were reluctant to accept banknotes. Nevertheless, the increase in silver prices compelled the Mexican government to issue for a brief period two notes, a 50 cents and a one peso note, both with the same reverse. The notes were printed in Mexico by the Government Printing office, with vignettes engraved by the BABNC. These vignettes, at least the one on the front of the one peso, were requested in 1918 by a Mexican official to the BABNC and suggested to be used in the "Banco de la Republica Mexicana", the unsuccessful first attempt to create a central bank. Any information you may have (engraver's name, paintings that served as models, vignette numbers, or other notes or documents that have the same vignette), would be highly appreciated. Thank you
