Banco de Talca was a Chilean regional bank operating under the 1860 Law of Banks, which permitted provincially chartered institutions to issue their own notes — a system that produced a fragmented, competitive currency landscape before the Banco de Chile eventually absorbed or displaced most of them. Talca's bank was among the more durable of these regional issuers, surviving into the 1890s consolidation period.
ABNC's involvement was typical for serious South American issuers of this period who wanted security printing they couldn't obtain domestically. The New York plates would have been engraved with anti-counterfeiting geometry that Chilean facilities simply couldn't replicate.
At 100 Pesos, this was a high-denomination commercial instrument — not everyday currency.
