Identification note: Exact SCWPM number depends on signatures/series/watermark details not fully verified from photos; the printed 1971 date may represent decree date rather than actual print year. | Attributes match the ABNC-printed Banco de México S.A. 100 Pesos “Hidalgo” type issued ca. 1969–1977: portrait labeled HIDALGO at left; ornate brown/grey design; large 100s; reverse with national coat of arms; ABNC imprint; denomination CIEN PESOS. The visible law date reads “24 DE MARZO DE 1971,” which points to the later law-date variety of this type. However, SCWPM suffix/variety attribution also depends on precise signature combinations, watermark details, and sometimes series nuances that are not fully verified from the provided photos (Serie BKS and serial alone are not definitive). Therefore the base Pick number for the type is given as estimated, with likely alternatives covering the law-date split.
