Thanks! Yes, that's true — dogs rarely appear on banknotes. Here are a few more from my collection.

I like notes with dogs. A lot of Arkansas scrip features a small vignette of a dog, often lying near a strong box with a key (somewhat similar to the 5 pesos note you shared, though typically much more crudely engraved!).

Yes, these ABNC printing plates were frequently used.

Fantastic banknotes, Caietan! The dogs are adorable, and that cow posing for his school portrait is incredible!

Looks like we might have hit a wall. . .

Here's the most affordable 1885 banknote I could find on ebay.
