The Banco de Piura was one of several provincial Peruvian banks authorized under the 1873 banking law, which briefly liberalized note-issuing rights beyond Lima. Giesecke & Devrient in Leipzig handled a significant share of South American bank note production during this period, and the Piura commission was typical of that regional business — a provincial issuer with limited capitalization ordering small print runs from a European security printer.
Piura's notes circulated in the country's far north, a region economically tied to cotton and sugar exports. The bank did not survive long past the War of the Pacific, which devastated Peru's financial system after 1879.
