Banco de Trujillo was one of several regional Peruvian banks that emerged following the 1872 Ley de Bancos, which briefly liberalized private note issuance in Peru before the fiscal catastrophe of the War of the Pacific forced nationalization and ultimately collapsed most provincial banking entirely. Trujillo's bank never achieved the reach of Lima's larger institutions, and notes from this issuer are scarce today largely because circulation remained geographically limited to the northern coastal region.

The American Bank Note Company held contracts with numerous South American banks during this period, supplying finished notes to issuers who lacked domestic printing infrastructure. The ABNC's New York production is generally identifiable by plate quality, though the specific engraving details for this series are not well-documented in surviving ABNC archive records.
