| Anmerkungen |
Banco La Providencia was a private Peruvian commercial bank operating during the brief window of free banking that preceded the monetary chaos of the War of the Pacific. By the time Chilean forces occupied Lima in 1881, most of the private bank note-issuing institutions had collapsed or suspended payments — La Providencia among them. Notes from this issuer rarely turn up in any condition, a direct consequence of the bank's short operational life and the economic destruction of the war years.
The American Bank Note Company held contracts with numerous South American banks simultaneously in this period, producing plates for competing institutions sometimes within the same year.
