| Opmerkingen |
The Banco de la Compañía General del Perú was one of several private Lima banks that briefly flourished before Peru's catastrophic War of the Pacific (1879–1884) wiped out most of the country's private banking sector. Notes issued under this charter had only a narrow window of legitimate circulation before the war's economic devastation — forced conversion policies, military requisitioning, and eventual bank failures rendered most private paper worthless within a decade of printing.
ABNC printed multiple Peruvian private bank series during this period from their New York workshops, often sharing plate elements across clients to reduce costs. Worth checking for the familiar ABNC imprint in the lower margin.
