| Comments |
Banco de Pamplona was one of several short-lived regional banks that emerged under Colombia's 1865 banking legislation, operating out of Norte de Santander before the nationwide Banco Nacional monopoly effectively ended private note issue in the 1880s. This note sits near the end of that window — by 1886, the new Colombian constitution was already consolidating federal monetary authority, and most regional banks were forced out of circulation within a few years of this date.
Bradbury Wilkinson handled engraving and printing for a significant number of Latin American provincial issuers during this period, often reusing plate elements across clients. Manuel P. Parra's single signature suggests a small administrative structure at the bank.
