| Opmerkingen |
The Tesorería General de Honduras — the national treasury, not a commercial bank — issued paper money directly during a period when Honduras lacked a functioning central bank. This was a common arrangement in Central America in the late nineteenth century, where treasury notes served as the principal circulating medium by government decree rather than through any banking infrastructure.
The 50 Pesos denomination was the highest in this series, and high-value treasury notes from small-circulation issuances like this rarely survived in quantity. Honduras's monetary system shifted repeatedly in the following decades, and redemption campaigns destroyed much of what had been issued.
