Description

This item is a vintage bank deposit receipt issued by "El Banco del Perú, " dating from the late 19th century (around 1880s). The intricate black and white print features ornamental borders and spaces for handwritten details such as the amount deposited, the deposit term in months, and the date. The receipt is elegantly crafted, with fine calligraphy used for pre-printed information, typical of financial documents from that era. The document promises to repay the depositor a sum with interest and is notable for its historical and numismatic significance. Its high level of detail, craftsmanship, and historical context make it an excellent addition for collectors of antique financial instruments and Peruvian paper money.


The back of the document is blank, with no inscriptions, graphics, or distinctive markings. The paper has an aged tone and a rough texture, indicating its antiquity and possible use during the period to which it belongs. The condition of the back is consistent with the document’s age, showing no significant stains or damage that would affect its historical value.
