Anmerkungen

The Tesorería General issues of the 1890s came out of a Colombian fiscal system under severe strain — the country was spending heavily on internal administration while silver depreciation gutted government revenues. These treasury notes were effectively forced currency, issued not by a bank but by the state's own cashiers, which made them difficult to refuse and nearly impossible to redeem with any reliability.

Litografía de Paredes was one of Bogotá's few domestic printing operations capable of producing circulating currency at the time. Local production meant the notes lacked the security features available from European firms, and counterfeiting was a persistent complaint throughout the series.
