Comments

The Banco Agrícola was one of several Bolivian provincial and sectoral banks operating under the 1890 banking law, which permitted private institutions to issue their own notes — a privilege that lasted only until the Banco de la Nación Boliviana absorbed most of that authority after 1911. The agricultural bank's notes circulated in a narrow regional and commercial context, not as general national currency.

Bradbury, Wilkinson produced tight, technically accomplished work throughout Latin America in this period. The S-prefix in the Pick reference signals this is catalogued as a private or provincial issue rather than a central government emission.
