The Banco Nacional de Bolivia operated from Antofagasta — a port city that, in 1874, was still technically Bolivian territory under the 1866 border treaty with Chile. Four years after this note was issued, Chile occupied Antofagasta, triggering the War of the Pacific. Bolivia lost the city permanently by 1884 and has been landlocked ever since.
ABNC printed the series in New York, as they did for most South American commercial bank issues of this period. The Antofagasta branch's notes are scarce survivors; the political upheaval that ended Bolivian control of the coast did nothing to encourage the careful preservation of its banking paper.
