| Opmerkingen |
The Banco Central de Reserva de El Salvador had a long relationship with the Canadian Bank Note Company, and this 1996 issue falls within a stable, late-period run of the colón series before dollarization effectively ended El Salvador's currency independence in 2001. After the U.S. dollar became legal tender under the Monetary Integration Law of that year, colón notes were withdrawn from circulation — not destroyed outright, but rendered redundant almost overnight.
Watermark-only security on a note this late in the series is notably sparse by contemporary standards, reflecting budget constraints rather than printing limitations.
