| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed entirely in green, with an intricate guilloche design composed of three large circular lathe-work rosettes arranged horizontally across the note. The central rosette contains the inscription 'EL BANCO DE LIMA' within an ornate engine-turned frame, while the flanking rosettes each carry a bold numeral '4'. The overall design relies entirely on fine mechanical lathe-work patterns with no pictorial vignettes. |

Banco de Lima was one of several private commercial banks that emerged in Peru during the guano-boom years, when the government's export revenues were substantial enough to underwrite a wave of new financial institutions. The 1870s, however, were already showing early signs of the fiscal strain that would culminate in the War of the Pacific and the near-total collapse of the Peruvian banking system by the early 1880s — most of these private bank notes became worthless within a decade of issue.
The 4-soles denomination is an odd choice, rarely encountered in South American private banking series of this period. Compañía Nacional de Billetes de Banco operated out of New York as a specialist printer for Latin American clients, though it left few traces in the historical record compared to contemporaries like the American Bank Note Company.
