| Opmerkingen |
Banco Francisco Argandoña was a private regional bank operating out of La Paz, one of several Bolivian commercial banks authorized to issue notes under the 1890 banking law that briefly opened currency issuance to private institutions. The arrangement didn't last — the Bolivian government moved to centralize currency control in the early twentieth century, and most of these private issuing banks were wound up or absorbed.
Bradbury Wilkinson produced the plates, as they did for a number of South American private bank commissions in this period. The S-prefix Pick designation signals a private or semi-official issue, and surviving examples of this denomination are scarce enough that auction appearances are infrequent.
