| Comments |
The Banco Nacional de Santo Domingo was a short-lived institution, operating under a concession granted by the Dominican government in the 1880s during a period of chronic fiscal instability and heavy reliance on foreign creditors. By the time this note was issued, the bank's position was already precarious — the Dominican Republic's public finances were in near-permanent disorder, and confidence in domestic paper currency was limited at best.
P#S133 carries an "S" prefix in the Pick numbering, placing it among unlisted or privately-issued regional bank notes rather than central government issues — a distinction that mattered legally at the time and matters to collectors now in terms of surviving population.
