Obverse description	The obverse is an overprint issue on an earlier Banco de Bogotá 10 Pesos note, retaining the original intaglio-printed design. A vignette at the left centre depicts a tall waterfall amid dense tropical foliage, while an oval portrait vignette at the upper right shows a male figure in early 19th-century attire. The large numeral '10' appears in the centre within a guilloche rosette, flanked by the denomination text 'DIEZ' and 'PESOS', with the principal legend 'EL BANCO DE BOGOTÁ' in bold letterpress and the promise text 'Pagará al portador á la vista Diez Pesos' below.
