100 Pesos

Banco Internacional de Guatemala was one of several private commercial banks operating under Guatemala's 1874 banking law, which permitted note-issuing rights to chartered institutions at a time when the country had no central bank. The American Bank Note Company produced paper for most of these Guatemalan private banks, and the plates were typically engraved to a high standard — ABNC's Guatemala work from this period is generally considered among the finer examples of their Latin American output.

The 100 Pesos denomination for a private Guatemalan bank from 1909 is a high-face-value note issued just years before the government moved to consolidate and eventually nationalize note-issuing authority. Surviving examples are scarce — large denominations from provincial private issuers rarely saw wide circulation and were often redeemed and destroyed.
