Reissue of Caja Reguladora
with additional set of red serial #
Note: Technically speaking, this is no longer an issue of the private bank, as the emission rights of those banks did expire between 1923-1926.
The purpose of Caja Reguladora was the stabiliziation of the Peso. This goal was achieved in August 1924 at an exchange rate of Pesos 60 per US$.
Remaining stock of the private banks were overprinted with an additional set of serial #.
