| 备注 |
The Banco de Arequipa was one of several regional Peruvian banks that issued private banknotes under the 1869 banking law, which briefly opened the field to provincial institutions before Lima-based banks and, eventually, state consolidation squeezed them out. The Arequipa bank's notes were redeemable locally — a practical constraint in a country where Lima and the southern highlands operated almost as separate economies.
ABNC's involvement was typical for South American private banks of this period seeking credibility through association with a prestigious foreign printer. The plates were almost certainly engraved in New York and shipped as finished printed sheets.
