The Banco Anglo-Peruano was a British-backed commercial bank operating in Lima, one of several foreign-capital institutions that briefly flourished in Peru during the guano boom years. By 1875, that boom had effectively collapsed, and the Peruvian state was already in fiscal crisis — this fractional note was issued into an economy under serious strain, just a few years before the catastrophic bank failures of 1877 and the wider sovereign default.
The National Bank Note Company credit in the printer's imprint is worth scrutiny: the firm ceased independent operations in 1879 after merging into the American Bank Note Company, but the plate designs — and the imprint text — often survived that transition unchanged on notes issued well after 1879. A "NBNC" imprint does not reliably date the physical printing to before the merger.
