| Beschrijving keerzijde | Printed in orange on an overall guilloche patterned ground, the reverse carries large black letterpress overprint text reading 'Banco de la Republica / Billete Provisional' applied across the centre of the note. The Colombian national arms appear in an engraved vignette at the lower centre, flanked by the numeral '10' in guilloche medallions at left and right. The text of the overprint partially obscures the underlying printed legends of the original Casa de Moneda note. |

Colombia's Banco de la República was established in July 1923, and its earliest circulating notes were not purpose-designed issues but overprinted stock — existing Banco de la República de Colombia plates adapted for the new central bank. The 10 Pesos P#353 is part of that transitional moment, when the institution was barely months old and had no time to commission fresh designs before notes needed to reach circulation.
The ABNC connection here is straightforward: the company held the intaglio plates and applied the overprint at its New York facility. Worth noting that the overprint series is considerably scarcer than the later clean issues of the same denomination.
