| Opmerkingen |
The Banco del Departamento de Bolívar operated out of Cartagena, one of several Colombian departmental banks that flourished briefly under the 1880 banking law before the national government systematically dismantled regional note-issuing privileges in the 1890s. This note predates that suppression by only a few years. Hamilton Bank Note Company, a New York firm that competed aggressively for Latin American government and bank contracts throughout the late nineteenth century, produced the plate work.
Surviving examples from this issuer are genuinely uncommon — the bank's lifespan was short and circulation was geographically limited to the Caribbean coastal region.
