The Banco Mercantil was one of several Bolivian private banks authorized to issue notes under the 1890 banking law, a system that ended abruptly when the Banco de la Nación Boliviana was established in 1911 and note-issuing privileges were gradually consolidated under state control. This note predates that transition by five years.
ABNC held the printing contract for much of Bolivia's private banking paper in this period, and the quality of the intaglio work on Mercantil issues is noticeably finer than contemporaneous notes produced locally or by lesser contractors — a meaningful distinction when counterfeiting was a persistent problem in the altiplano markets where these circulated.
