The Banco Central designation here requires care — several Latin American republics operated institutions under that name around the turn of the century, and without confirmed country attribution in the catalog record, specifics on the political circumstances of this issue are not something that can be responsibly stated. What is certain: the American Bank Note Company held a near-monopoly on prestige currency printing for Latin American clients during this period, and their New York plates were frequently shared, reworked, or reused across multiple clients and denominations.
Pick #370 does not resolve cleanly to a single standard reference without country context — worth cross-checking against Krause before finalizing the catalog entry.
