| Opmerkingen |
The Tesorería de la República de Bolivia — the national treasury rather than a central bank — issued this series during a period when Bolivia had no central issuing authority in the modern sense. Treasury notes of this type were fiscal instruments, not purely commercial ones, and the decision to contract American Bank Note Company in New York was deliberate: foreign-printed currency carried more credibility with creditors and trading partners than anything produced domestically.
Bolivia had just emerged from the devastating War of the Pacific (1879–1884), in which it lost its entire Pacific coastline to Chile. The fiscal damage ran deep into the following decade, and the 1902 issue reflects an attempt to stabilize public finance under genuinely constrained circumstances.
