| Anmerkungen |
The Banco Mercantil y Agrícola was one of Venezuela's private commercial banks operating under the banking law of 1918, which permitted note issuance subject to gold reserve requirements. By 1929, Venezuela's oil revenues were reshaping the economy rapidly under Gómez, and private bank notes were increasingly under pressure from the Banco de Venezuela's dominant position. This denomination would have seen real commercial circulation in Caracas trade.
ABNC produced the plate work in New York to its usual high intaglio standard. The "P#232" assignment suggests a relatively scarce survival rate for this issuer across the series.
