Banco de Sopetrán was a short-lived regional institution operating out of a small municipality in Antioquia, Colombia — one of dozens of private banks that proliferated under the country's 1865 free banking legislation, which allowed virtually any commercial entity to issue its own currency. The result was a chaotic monetary environment that persisted until the Banco Nacional was granted exclusive emission rights in 1886, after which most of these provincial issues were retired and destroyed.
Bradbury, Wilkinson engraved and printed for numerous Latin American issuers during this period, and the quality of their work almost always outlasted the banks that commissioned it. The survival rate for Sopetrán notes is extremely low.
