Central American Republic 100 Pesos

This magnificent piece is quite possibly the most important bank note of Central Americadiscovered to date. It was used to pay fees at ports of Central America. Of the greatest historicalsignificance; most likely unique. There is even disagreement about how it should be attributed; wecreated a new category of the Central American Republic! Few documents of any kind from the CentralAmerican Republic have survived.

This piece is of added significance as it features the Republic's arms, which irrefutablyproves the provenance of the rayed hat counter-stamp on Honduras and Nicaraguan coins of 1823-25. Asignificant part of this note is hand written. Large size; three punch cancellations. Two handsignatures, including that of the Ministro de Hacienda; hand written notations on back. Inkerosion. Several slits; margin tears. A fantastic collector piece that ties together many differentregions of Latin America; the centerpiece of any advanced collection.
