| Comments |
The Banco Nacional de Cuba was established in 1950, replacing the old monetary board arrangement and giving Cuba its first fully sovereign central bank. This 100 Peso note belongs to the series issued under that new institution — printed by ABNC in New York, as had been the Cuban practice for decades, since domestic security printing infrastructure simply didn't exist.
The series ran until 1958, the last full year of the Batista government. Notes from the later dates in this range occasionally surface with a slightly different ink saturation on the serial numbering, a minor production variation that has attracted some specialist attention but carries no premium in the broader market.
