Now let us have a closer look at 4 notes that belong to the same type (DD type 7) and the same subtype according Pick (0060 g - date 8 November 1961):
![]() |
| 4 5-peso notes from the same 'type' |
Signature 3 is identical in all 4 notes,
signature 2 is identical in the top two notes, and a different signature the bottom two notes
signature 1 is identical in the top two notes, but diffenent in the second note, and again diffent in the third note...
![]() |
| identical and different signatures within one type |
![]() |
| reverse side of the same 4 notes |
What supposingly was one note: subtype 0060 g for Pick - becomes 4 different notes in type DD (Mexican numbering).
| seal and ornament in 4 different colours |
Reasons enough to collect notes per series, to enrich your collection.
