The Confederación Granadina was Colombia's federal constitutional arrangement from 1858 to 1863, a brief and fractious experiment that gave individual states considerable fiscal autonomy — including the right to issue their own paper currency. Santander's treasury notes were among the more locally produced emissions of this period, printed in Bucaramanga rather than sent abroad to established security printers, which shows in the relatively modest typography.

The confederation collapsed into the Rionegro civil war and was replaced by the United States of Colombia in 1863. Notes from this interlude are genuinely scarce survivors of a political arrangement that lasted less than five years.
