Comments

Antioquia issued its own paper currency during the Thousand Days War (1899–1902), a civil conflict that strangled federal finance and forced Colombia's regions to improvise. This 10 Centavos note belongs to that emergency series — locally printed in Medellín at a time when the national government could not reliably supply currency to the interior.

Regional departmental issues from this period are chronically underrepresented in collections, partly because wartime paper of low face value was used hard and discarded.
