Obverse description	Black on white unissued trial note. The upper left bears the title 'BONO COLOMBIANO' in large ornate lettering within a decorative frame, with a diagonal 'SIN INTERÉS' overprint. To the upper right, an oval vignette presents a rural scene with figures on horseback and a cart. The central text panel states the obligation of the Republic of Colombia to pay the bearer one hundred pesos, referencing Ley 95 of 1888, with 'POR $100' in bold letterpress at the foot and the imprint 'VILLAVECES-BOGOTA' below. Signature lines for 'EL MINISTRO DEL TESORO' and 'EL TESORERO GENERAL' are printed but left blank, and the serial number field is present but the note is incomplete as a trial.

Reverse description	Printed in blue on white paper, the reverse consists of two large interlocking guilloche rosettes of fine lathe-work, each enclosing an elaborate geometric underprint. A blank white rectangular panel occupies the center, intended to receive an overprint or counter-stamp. The overall design is unfinished, consistent with a trial printing, and bears two punch-hole cancellations at the top margin.
