| Comments |
The "Moreno" in the note's name honors Gabriel René Moreno, the 19th-century Bolivian writer and bibliographer whose cataloguing of colonial-era documents at the Biblioteca Nacional remains a foundational scholarly achievement. An unusual choice for a banknote subject — Bolivia more typically honors military and political figures at this denomination level.
Thomas De La Rue printed the Series D and E issues across the 1995–2001 window, during a period when Bolivia had largely stabilized inflation after the catastrophic hyperinflation of 1984–1985, when annual rates exceeded 20,000 percent. The boliviano itself was only introduced in 1987 as part of that stabilization, replacing the peso boliviano at a rate of one million to one.
