Estados Unidos Mexicanos £100 British Pounds/500 Pesos Bond
Also Known As Green Lady
Also Known As Green Diamond
Mexican Bond With Passco certificate of authenticity
The Estados Unidos Mexicanos £100 British Pounds / 500 Pesos Bond is one of the most elegant and historically significant Mexican bonds issued in the late 19th century. It's often considered a "sister piece" to the more well-known "Pink Lady" (£20 / 100 Pesos), but with a higher face value, green coloration, and more limited availability—earning it the nickname "Green Lady" among collectors.

During the Porfirio Díaz presidency, Mexico sought to reorganize and stabilize its internal debt, while attracting British and European investment. Bonds like this were denominated in both pounds and pesos to appeal to international investors—especially in London and Paris.
