100 Pesos

Banco de Occidente was a Colombian-chartered institution operating branches in Central America during the late nineteenth century — an arrangement that now seems bizarre but was entirely ordinary in an era when nationally chartered foreign banks could legally issue currency in Guatemala. This note is denominated in pesos, not quetzales, placing it before Guatemala's 1925 monetary reform that finally unified the country under a single national currency.

The American Bank Note Company's involvement is notable mainly because their Guatemalan private bank work from this period is far less catalogued than their South American commissions. P#S187 survivors are scarce; the branch ceased local issuance well before the reform swept competing bank notes from circulation.
