| Opmerkingen |
The Banco Español Filipino de Isabel II was the first bank established in the Philippines, chartered in 1851 under royal decree and given the right to issue banknotes — the first circulating paper currency in the archipelago. These early notes were produced by Bradbury Wilkinson & Co. in London, though issued and intended exclusively for Manila commerce. The peso notes of this series circulated against a backdrop of chronic silver coin shortages in the islands, which gave paper currency an awkward reception in a market that had long settled debts in metal.
The bank was later renamed Banco Español Filipino in 1869, after the queen was deposed.
