| Opmerkingen |
Banco de Venezuela was chartered in 1890 — the same year this note was issued — making this among the earliest paper money the institution ever put into circulation. The American Bank Note Company's New York operation was the dominant supplier to Latin American banks during this period, and Venezuelan institutions relied heavily on ABNC work throughout the late nineteenth century precisely because domestic printing infrastructure capable of handling high-security notes simply did not exist.
At 1,000 Bolívares, this was unambiguously a commercial instrument rather than everyday currency — a denomination suited to large mercantile transactions in a country whose export economy ran almost entirely on coffee and cacao at the time.
