The shared printing credit between Crane Currency and Oberthur Fiduciaire across this series reflects a fairly common arrangement for Central American issuers during this period — substrate production separated from the security printing process itself. Crane's long-standing role as a paper supplier rather than a full-service printer often goes unacknowledged in catalog listings that simply list both firms as co-printers.
The three-signature format — President of the Central Bank, plus two ministerial or board-level signatories — mirrors the authorization structure Honduras adopted in its 1950 banking law and has retained through successive administrations. Wilfredo Cerrato R. later became Central Bank President himself.
