| Opmerkingen |
Banco de Londres y Sud America was the Argentine subsidiary of the London and River Plate Bank, one of the dominant British merchant banking operations in South America through the late nineteenth century. The fact that this note was printed by the American Bank Note Company in New York rather than in London is worth noting — ABNC held the majority of banknote printing contracts for Argentine and broader South American issuers during this period, effectively locking out British and European competitors through reliability and proximity to regional distribution networks.
Pick 257 is sparsely documented, and surviving specimens are uncommon in the secondary market.
