| Comments |
The Compañía de Crédito Agrícola e Industrial was one of several Ecuadorian regional banks authorized to issue private banknotes under the country's decentralized banking framework, which remained in place until the Ley Orgánica de Bancos of 1927 and the subsequent creation of the Banco Central del Ecuador in 1927. That reform ended private note issuance entirely, making all surviving examples from these provincial issuers terminal — no further printings were possible after the transition.
ABNC supplied plates to numerous Latin American banks simultaneously in this period; their New York production runs were typically held and shipped in bulk, meaning notes dated 1921 may have entered circulation considerably later.
