The Estado Soberano de Bolívar was one of nine sovereign states within Colombia's federalist structure under the 1863 Rionegro Constitution — an arrangement that gave individual states the authority to issue their own currency, a fiscal privilege most exercised with considerable enthusiasm and questionable discipline. Hamilton Bank Note Engraving & Printing Co. of New York handled a significant share of Latin American state-level commissions during this period, competing directly with American Bank Note Co. for the same clientele.
Pick #127 is poorly documented in terms of confirmed issue dates and surviving population, which makes provenance records worth keeping with any example.
