Thomas De La Rue printed this series for the Banco Central de Reserva during a stretch of relative monetary stability in El Salvador — the colón had been pegged to the US dollar at 2.50 since 1934, a rate that held with unusual discipline for decades and made notes of this denomination genuinely functional for larger commercial transactions rather than symbolic.
The P#104 issue spans three years, suggesting periodic reordering rather than a single print run, though exact mintage figures for De La Rue's Central American contracts from this period are not publicly documented.
