| Opmerkingen |
El Banco Nacional del Perú established a branch in Iquique specifically to service the booming nitrate trade of the Tarapacá region — at the time still Peruvian territory. The War of the Pacific changed everything. Chilean forces occupied Iquique in 1879, and the branch's notes became politically inconvenient almost immediately. Most circulating examples were withdrawn or simply stopped being honored.
The open date field — "187_" — means surviving notes may have been issued any year between 1870 and 1879, with the final digit completed by hand. Given the occupation, notes dated 1879 likely saw the shortest and most chaotic circulation of the series.
