| 正面描述 | Orange and black bicolour note with the bank title 'EL BANCO NACIONAL DEL PERU' in bold letterpress across the upper register, flanked by two ornate guilloche rosettes bearing the numeral '20' at left and right. A central intaglio vignette presents a coastal landscape with a prominent cliff formation and vessels at anchor. The obligation text 'Pagará VEINTE SOLES a la vista al portador en moneda corriente' appears below the vignette, with a large orange underprint of the word 'VEINTE' across the lower centre. The header reads 'LA SUCURSAL EN YQUIQUE DE' and the place name 'Yquique' appears at upper left. Overprinted 'Muestra' appears at each corner, confirming this as a specimen example. |

The Banco Nacional del Perú operated from Lima, but this Iquique branch note represents a peculiar chapter: Iquique was a Peruvian city until Chile seized it during the War of the Pacific (1879–1884), meaning notes issued from that office were rendered politically stranded almost immediately. The branch itself ceased to function as a Peruvian institution once Chilean forces occupied the Tarapacá region in late 1879.
ABNC produced the plates in New York well before the war, when Iquique was the center of Peru's nitrate export economy — which is precisely why a branch bank existed there at all.
