The Banco Central de Honduras relied on the American Bank Note Company for this series across a print run spanning well over a decade — an unusually long contract period that produced notes with only minor variations between early and late printings. Collectors tracking the series distinguish issues primarily by signature combinations, of which several exist across the 1976–1989 span, reflecting the rotation of finance ministers and central bank presidents through a period of significant political turbulence in Honduras.
Pick 64 is among the more common survivors of the ABNCo Honduras relationship, though earlier-dated signature pairs turn up far less frequently than later ones.
