| Reverse description | The central vignette presents an engraved scene of a colonial village square — identified as Guaduas, birthplace of Policarpa Salavarrieta — with low whitewashed buildings, a church tower, and palm trees set against a backdrop of Andean mountains rendered in blue-green tones. Figures in period dress and livestock animate the foreground plaza, the whole scene executed in fine intaglio line work over a multicolored guilloche underprint. Pre-Columbian decorative border strips run along the top and right edges, with a circular emblem at the lower right and the denomination numeral "10000" at lower center. |

| Comments |
Colombia operated a dual-printing arrangement for this series, with De La Rue supplying intaglio elements and the Banco de la República's own Imprenta de Billetes in Bogotá completing production — a setup that allowed the central bank to build domestic security printing capacity while retaining British technical oversight. The "old bank seal" designation distinguishes this from later issues bearing a revised Banco de la República seal, making the variant distinction meaningful for series collectors rather than a mere catalog formality.
