In 1869, the National Bank Note Company of New York (NBNC), and later the American Bank Note Company (ABNC), began issuing banknotes for the Captaincy General of Cuba in denominations ranging from 5 pesos to 1,000 pesos. Beginning in 1872, fractional peso banknotes were issued in 5, 10, 20, 25, and 50 centavos and printed in strips of ten. - Original
- A complete denomination set of five Cuban peso fractional banknotes, issued in centavos, including both titles of the main issuing bank. Engraved and printed by the National and American Bank Note Company. Notes from the 1870s and 1880s were printed with a counterfoil (vertical pattern can be seen on the reverse edge). The notes slowly graduate in size from the 5 centavos (~75x35mm) to the 50 centavos (~88x42mm).

- Comment - For the 20s, I'd just run a single note. Otherwise the "set" doesn't really work for me. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:16, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
