Article 29: Mexico Exporta 5000 Pesos: The Printings

Here are three distinct printings of the Mexico Exporta 5000 Pesos values. The earliest printing, shown below, is clear, and the colors are bright. "Algodon" is readable, and the burelage is light and crisp.
The middle printing, shown below, is blurred, and the colors are faded. "Algodon" is barely readable, and the burelage is light and crisp.
The late printing, shown below, is clear, and the colors are bright. "Algodon" is readable, and the burelage is dark and crisp.
Below are details of these three printings in sequence. I have inverted the colors to show "Algodon" more clearly.
Below left is a detail of the logo for the faint, middle printing, as compared with the same detail, shown below right, of the late printing.

8: The Mexico Exporta Chase Correspondence : The Mexico Exporta series has a very large number of issues (approximately 100), and of varieties (in the neighborhood of 500). Here are a few of the issues in a bank correspondence to Miami. The article includes web pages dedicated to the 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 pesos values. I have dedicated a section of this web site to this fascinating series.

92: Mexico Exporta 20 Pesos Forged Iron (Hierro Forjado) There were several printings of this stamp. I show here examples from some of the printings, as well as details from one of the stamps showing a plate variety. There are three major groups: the gray black printings, the slightly doubled gray printing, and the black printing. Because of the changes brought about by inflation, this stamp was used as a low value and as a high value.
