| Anmerkungen |
Banco Atlántida was founded in Tegucigalpa in 1913 as Honduras's first privately chartered commercial bank, and this note belongs to its inaugural series — among the earliest privately issued paper currency the country had seen in any practical quantity. The American Bank Note Company supplied virtually all of Latin America's serious private banking paper at this period, and the quality of engraving reflects that monopoly position.
The "Plata" designation is the telling detail. Honduras was still denominating obligations in silver pesos rather than the lempira, which wouldn't replace the peso until 1931. A note promising silver payment carried real legal weight in a monetary environment where the distinction between silver and paper obligations was not academic.
