| Opmerkingen |
The Compañía de Obras Públicas y Fomento del Perú was a private construction and development company granted note-issuing privileges by the Peruvian government as part of the broader guano-era financial arrangements — an unusual situation even by the loose standards of 19th-century Latin American quasi-banking. By 1876, Peru's public finances were already deteriorating badly following the collapse of guano revenues and the disastrous Dreyfus contract fallout, which made the circulating paper of concession companies increasingly unreliable.
