| Opmerkingen |
Banco de Venezuela was a private commercial bank operating under government concession — not a central bank. Its authority to issue notes derived from a charter renewed periodically, and by 1897 that arrangement was already politically contested. The Cipriano Castro revolution of 1899 would upend the entire Venezuelan banking structure within years of this note's issue.
American Bank Note Company printed extensively for Latin American private banks throughout the 1890s, and their Venezuelan work for this period is among the more carefully engraved of the regional commissions. P#273 is genuinely scarce at any grade — private bank issues from pre-Castro Venezuela rarely survived the monetary reorganizations that followed.
