| Comments |
The Banco Central de Reserva de El Salvador's relationship with Thomas De La Rue stretched across decades, and this note falls within a period of acute political stress — 1982 was the year El Salvador held its Constituent Assembly elections under active civil war conditions, with the country receiving substantial U.S. financial support to stabilize its economy and currency. The colón itself had been under pressure throughout the early conflict years, and denominations like the 1 colón bore disproportionate circulation wear as small transactions dominated a disrupted cash economy.
P#133A is part of a longer-running De La Rue series for El Salvador, with successive signature varieties distinguishing issues that otherwise share the same plate design.
