Commenti	Banco de Tacna operated under genuinely unusual geopolitical circumstances: Tacna was a Peruvian city under Chilean military administration following the War of the Pacific, and the bank's concession was granted by Chile rather than Peru. Whether Chilean authorities formally authorized this 1886 emission or whether the bank was operating under an earlier Peruvian charter is not entirely settled in the literature. S394 is among the rarer entries in the South American provincial catalog. Very few specimens are documented in institutional collections.
