| Opmerkingen |
The Banco de Londres, México y Sud América was a British-controlled institution operating under Mexican charter but with branches extending into South American markets — the "Sud América" in its name was not aspirational branding but reflected real operational reach. Its Peruvian notes were issued during a period when private foreign-chartered banks held significant sway over coastal commercial credit, particularly in Lima and Callao, where British merchant interests ran deep.
The ABNC contract work here is competent but unremarkable within their output for South American clients. Worth noting: the Sol as Peru's decimal unit had only been established in 1863, making this an early-series emission for the denomination itself.
