Issued to mark the sesquicentennial of Sucre's assassination in 1830, this commemorative falls within a run of Venezuelan memorial notes that leaned heavily on nineteenth-century academic painters for their source imagery. Both Michelena and Herrera Toro were prominent figures of that Venezuelan realist school, and the decision to build a 1980 banknote around their work — rather than commissioning original designs — gave the series an unusually archival character.
ABNC printed the note in New York, continuing a relationship with Banco Central de Venezuela that stretched back decades.
