1.000 Pesos

El Banco de la República was Colombia's official state bank from 1881 until its liquidation in 1904 — which makes a 1907 issue under that name an immediate puzzle. By 1907, the bank had been formally wound down following the catastrophic monetary inflation of the Thousand Days War, during which it had printed paper pesos with almost no metallic backing. Notes bearing this issuer name after 1904 were almost certainly issued as part of the post-war debt settlement or redemption process, not as active circulating currency.

Lithografía P. Bouchard was an active commercial printing house in Buenos Aires, not a specialized security printer. That choice signals fiscal pragmatism rather than anti-counterfeiting ambition.
