The Banco de Lima was one of several private commercial banks that emerged in Peru during the guano boom years, when Lima briefly had more banking activity than almost anywhere else in South America. By 1875, that boom was already collapsing. The bank itself would not survive the decade — the War of the Pacific and the broader financial crisis of the late 1870s wiped out most of Peru's private banking sector entirely.
The 400 soles denomination is an awkward, non-standard unit that suggests this note was issued for specific large commercial transactions rather than general retail use. ABNC's involvement is unsurprising for the period; Lima's private banks routinely contracted New York security printers.
