Opmerkingen

The Banco Central de Reserva de El Salvador had maintained a relationship with the American Bank Note Company going back decades by the time this series was authorized, and the early 1950s issues reflect the ABNC's house style at its most refined — steel-engraved intaglio work of a quality that El Salvador's own printing infrastructure could not have approached. The Colón itself had been the national currency unit since 1919, named for Christopher Columbus and pegged to the U.S. dollar at 2.50 colones per dollar, a rate that held with remarkable stability through this entire period.

Pick #87 spans a four-year window, and date-specific examples from 1950 versus 1954 carry meaningfully different scarcity profiles — worth confirming before cataloging individually.
