| Opmerkingen |
The Banco Nacional de Cuba was only established in 1948, replacing the previously dollar-dominated monetary arrangement under which Cuba had no true central bank of its own. This note belongs to the very first series the institution issued — printed by ABNC under contract before Cuba had developed any domestic printing capacity.
The choice of an American firm to print Cuba's inaugural sovereign currency carried an irony that later history made sharper. Within a decade, the political relationship that made such an arrangement unremarkable had collapsed entirely.
