Owner's Description

The representative note included in this Set is a 1 peso remainder, S107r. The central image is a girl standing holding a lamb with the mother sheep looking on.

On the left is a cherub playing the lyre and on the right the head of a steer – another common reference to cattle being a major commodity of the region. The note is Series I (one) and S/N 28,836 so about half way through the print run of 60,000 in August 1888.
