| Comments |
Bolivia's Tesorería de la República issued this note during a period when the country's monetary system was still recovering from the severe dislocations of the War of the Pacific — a conflict that had cost Bolivia its coastal territory and badly disrupted trade and public finance through the 1880s and 1890s. By 1902, treasury-issued notes of this denomination occupied an awkward middle ground between the earlier government papel sellado instruments and the privately issued bank notes that commercial houses were simultaneously circulating.
ABNC's engraving work for Bolivian fiscal paper of this period is generally sharp, though the 1 Boliviano denomination saw heavy transactional use and survivors in clean condition are proportionally rarer than the higher values from the same series.
