1.000 Bolívares

Banco de Venezuela was a private commercial bank — not a central bank — when this note was issued. Venezuela would not establish its Banco Central until 1940, so private institutions like Banco de Venezuela operated with note-issuing authority during this period, an arrangement already fading across most of Latin America by the mid-1920s.

The American Bank Note Company produced this in New York, as it did for dozens of Latin American clients during these decades. At the 1,000 bolívar denomination, circulation would have been extremely limited — this was wholesale banking territory, not street commerce.
