Add a category for commercial banks to Mexican notes

In lieu of issuing its own banknotes, the government of Porfirio Diaz authorized private banks to do it instead. Currently these bank notes are grouped all over the place and they have more in common with each other than they do with the other categories.

looking at how the notes are classified I believe this should be an addition to the ruling authorities. The commercial banks issued currency between 1880 and 1914.

These should be added as issuing banks. If anyone is able to present a list of those banks, I will add them.

The names should be expressed as follows;

 

Name in Spanish / Name in English.

 

Obviously, ‘Banco’ means ‘Bank’, & ‘Estado’ means ‘State’.

There's some room for interpretations in the English translations. For instance, “Banco Monte de Piedad” I translated as Monte de Piedad Bank" instead of “Mount of Piety Bank” because “Monte de Piedad” is the name of a state-run charitable organization that dates back to the viceroyalty. 

 

Similarly “Hidalgo del Parral” and “Santa Eulalia” are the names of towns so I left them as is. 

 

“Banco Mejicano” and “Banco Mexicano” I'm not sure about since they're the same institution, that just changed its spelling. Should they be one issuing bank?

I would say they should be one issuing bank.
