Commenti	The Banco Nacional Hondureño was a short-lived institution, established under an 1889 concession and gone within a few years as Honduras cycled through competing private bank charters during the late nineteenth century. The American Bank Note Company printed the entire series in New York — standard practice for Central American issuers of the period who lacked domestic security printing infrastructure and needed the engraved intaglio work that ABNC could deliver. P#153 is among the scarcer survivors from this issuer. The bank's brief operational window meant limited original production runs, and Honduras's tropical climate has not been kind to cotton-paper notes from this era.
