| Opmerkingen |
The Banco de Londres México y Sud América was a British-owned institution operating under Mexican charter, but its Peruvian branch — active in Lima from the 1860s — issued notes denominated in soles for local circulation. This 2 Soles note dates from the earliest years of that operation, predating Peru's catastrophic War of the Pacific by over a decade. The American Bank Note Company printed for a remarkable range of Latin American clients during this period, and the quality of their intaglio work was frequently cited by issuing banks as a deterrent to forgery in markets where counterfeit detection was difficult.
The Sol had only been established as Peru's national currency unit in 1863, making this among the earliest private bank issues in that denomination.
