Anmerkungen

Banco de la Unión was one of several private Colombian banks authorized to issue notes under the banking law of 1880, which opened note-issuing privileges to chartered commercial institutions rather than concentrating them in a single state bank. The arrangement lasted barely two decades — Law 70 of 1898 and the financial chaos of the Thousand Days War (1899–1902) effectively ended the era of Colombian private bank currency, and most of these institutions never resumed circulation afterward.

The American Bank Note Company's involvement was nearly universal among Colombian private banks of this period; the prestige of a New York-engraved note carried real weight with a skeptical public.
