NL 100 Pesos L. 7.2.1832
Grade: WBG VF 30
This wonder is not only a magnificent collector piece; it also represents an integral part of Latin American history. It was used to pay fees at ports of Central America. Most likely unique. While there is even disagreement about how it should be attributed, Central American Republic seems to make the most sense. Few documents of any kind from the Central American Republic have survived. This piece is of added significance as it features the Republic's arms, which irrefutably proves the provenance of the rayed hat counter-stamp on Honduras and Nicaraguan coins of 1823-25. A significant part of this note is hand written. Large size; three punch cancellations. Two hand signatures; hand written notations on back. WBG terms this "VF 30" so the overall condition is remarkable. How this could have survived in this condition is simply miraculous. A fantastic collector piece that ties together many different regions of Latin America; the centerpiece of any advanced collection.
