Ciudad de Oaxaca de Juárez
Bono $1,000 Letra A No. 1060, Ciudad de Oaxaca de Juárez (Mexico), 1 January 1910. Trilingual Spanish/English/French. State of Oaxaca, Porfiriato. Last issue before the Mexican Revolution.

This municipal bono of $1,000 (Letra A, No. 1060), issued on 1 January 1910, is one of the last Mexican bonds of the Porfirian period.

This trilingual bono (Spanish/English/French) bears witness to the efforts of the Oaxacan municipality to attract international capital to modernize the city. The State of Oaxaca, very mountainous and rich in exceptional ethnic and cultural diversity, was then one of the least developed regions of Mexico despite the efforts of the Porfiriato
