Commenti	The Estado Soberano del Cauca was one of nine sovereign states under Colombia's federalist Rionegro Constitution of 1863 — a constitutional arrangement abolished in 1886, the same year this note was issued. The timing is not coincidental. The centralist Regeneración movement under Rafael Núñez dismantled the federal system that year, and fractional notes like this one were emergency emissions as the old state banking structures collapsed into what would become the unified República de Colombia. American Bank Note Company produced this for a government that, by the time the notes reached circulation, had technically ceased to exist as a sovereign entity.
