| Reverse description | The reverse presents a panoramic scene of the Amazon River and its people, rendered in soft multicolored intaglio and letterpress. A large anaconda-type serpent winds across the lower left portion of the design over stylized river waves, while at center-right a man paddles a dugout canoe on the river, with a sweeping aerial view of the meandering Amazon river system and forested landscape in the background. A Victoria Regia (giant water lily) flower vignette appears at lower right, and a circular Banco de la República seal is at upper right. Three vertical green security threads inscribed 'BRC' are visible across the note, and a quoted text by Virginia Gutiérrez de Pineda is printed at upper right. |
