Owner's Description

The note selected to represent the Nacional Monte de Piedad is an example of the 1000 pesos issue, as is usual for these notes it is a remainder (also known with the counterfoil). On this denomination the front of the notes features the ever present portrait of Pedro Romero de Terreros in the centre. A scene of ‘daily life’ of the local population at the lower left highlights the founding philanthropic values of the institution with commerce depicted as an allegorical figure on the lower right. On the back, and consistent across all of the denominations, is an image of the main office of the business.
