Description: 1865 Republica Del Paraguay 2 Dos Pesos Fine 19th Century BanknoteEl Tesoro Nacional Pagara Al Prtador VG Well circulated old 19th century banknote Compañía de Obras Públicas y Fomento del Perú 1876 The Company of Public Works and Development of Peru was founded by Enrique Meiggs on March 31, 1874, with an authorized capital of 5 million soles, of which by 1877, the sum of 3,250,230 soles had already been paid. It is said that this company was created as a result of the financial difficulties Meiggs faced in completing the construction of the central railway. Combined with the Peruvian economic crisis, this situation led him to seek funds from other sources. President Enrique Meiggs was accompanied by Directors Francisco García Calderón (Vice President), Enrique H. Meiggs, Carlos S. Rand, and Guillermo H. Cilley, with alternates Juan L. Thorndike and Minor K. Meiggs. The year following Meiggs' death, the company was in the process of liquidation. Its objectives were: the purchase of urban land and constructions, the acquisition of rural lands and irrigation, public works, railways, telegraphs, mining and agricultural developments, and the issuance of mortgage bonds. These goals exceeded what could be rationally and normally achieved in those difficult times. The works that were carried out under this optimistic drive were related to railways, continuing those previously undertaken by Meiggs himself.La Compañia de Obras Publicas y Fomento del Perú fue fundada por Enrique Meiggs el 31 de marzo de 1874 con un capital autorizado de S/. 5 millones, el cual en 1877, se hallaba ya pagado en la suma de S/. 3.250.230. Se dice que se creo esta empresa como resultado de las dificultades económicas en que se encontraba Meiggs para terminar con la construccion del ferrocarril central y agregada a la crisis peruana, lo indujeron con el fin de reunir dinero de otras fuentes. El Presidente Enrique Meiggs, a quien acompañaron como Directores, Francisco García Calderón (Vicepresidente), Enrique H. Meiggs, Carlos S. Rand y Guillermo H. Cilley, y suplentes: Juan L. Thorndike y Minor K. Meiggs. Al año siguiente de la muerte de Meiggs, esta sociedad se encontraba en liquidación. Sus fines eran: compra de terrenos urbanos y construcciones, adquisición de tierras rústicas e irrigación, obras públicas, ferrocarriles, telégrafos, habilitaciones mineras y agrícolas y emisión de cédulas hipotecarias. Estos própositos excedían de lo que racional y normalmente podían hacerse en aquellos momentos díficiles. Las obras que puso en ejecución ese optimista impulso fueron las de ferrocarriles, continuando las anteriormente emprendidas por el propio Meiggs. Note: Coins & Banknotes GradingPlease closely inspect the photos to understand the condition of the coins or banknotes before proceeding with your purchase, as grading can be subjective and varies from person to person. Please do not place too much hope on grading companies to grade the notes accurately, as they can be notoriously inconsistent. Different graders have different opinions, eye factors, and knowledge that influence the final grading. Even grading companies do not guarantee that you will get the outcome of your desired grading. If you have any questions or require additional information, I am more than happy to assist. Please feel free to contact me anytime.Shipping InformationComplimentary Combined Shipping: We offer free combined shipping for all banknotes. To take advantage of this offer, please add the items to your cart together and only proceed to checkout once you are ready to pay. eBay will consolidate the shipping at the checkout page. Please do not pay for items individually, as the shipping costs will not be combined that way.Customs Fees: Buyers are responsible for any applicable customs fees.International Shipping: Shipping duration can vary, typically ranging from 14 to 60 business days for standard delivery. Please be aware that these shipping times are estimates and depend on the operational efficiencies of the shipping companies, which we cannot control.Postage Costs: Please note that international shipping via Australia Post is not cheap. We strive to keep the shipping costs as low as possible, sometimes even absorbing a portion of the costs. However, eBay charges fees on both the value of items sold and the shipping costs quoted. Additionally, eBay mandates the use of end-to-end tracking for safety and reliability.Untracked Shipping Requests: If a buyer insists on requesting an untracked, cheaper shipping option, we reserve the right to grant or refuse the request due to eBay's strict shipping policies. If untracked shipping is granted, please be aware that we have no way of tracking the mail, and the buyer is strictly responsible for any losses in transit.Tracking and Logistics: Please check Australia Post for tracking status. Since we do not own Australia Post, we have absolutely no control over their handling times and methods. Australia is a huge continent, and logistics are challenging, coupled with one of the highest minimum wages in the world, making costs and operations tough. Please check with your postal service or local post offices if any unattended mail notes are left, as we absolutely can't control that remotely. VAT and GSTWe are not in control of charging any VAT or GST, as these are automatically applied by eBay.Customer ConductPlease be respectful when communicating with us.
