| Opmerkingen |
The Compañía de Obras Públicas y Fomento del Perú was a French-backed infrastructure conglomerate granted sweeping concessions by the Peruvian government under the Dreyfus contract era, responsible for railways, public works, and canal construction. When the state could not meet its guano-backed debt obligations, companies like this one were authorized to issue fractional fiduciary notes — effectively filling a gap the national treasury could no longer cover in small denominations.
NBNC printed the series in New York. Within three years, the War of the Pacific had collapsed Peru's fiscal architecture entirely, and these notes became worthless.
