| Comments |
The Banco Agrícola Comercial was one of El Salvador's three major private issuing banks operating before the government consolidated currency authority under the Banco Central de Reserva in 1934. This 1922 note predates that nationalization by over a decade, placing it firmly in the era of competitive private issuance when each bank printed and backed its own circulating paper.
ABNC produced this series from its New York facilities — the company's work for Central American clients during the 1920s was technically accomplished, with detailed intaglio printing typical of their export contracts.
