The Banco Nacional de la República de Colombia had a turbulent institutional life — it was forced into liquidation by the Colombian government in 1894, just a year after this note was issued, following sustained opposition from private banks and Liberal political factions who viewed it as an instrument of Conservative fiscal control. Notes from 1893 were among the last the institution produced before that closure.
American Bank Note Company held the contract throughout the bank's existence. The 100 Pesos denomination circulated during a period of mounting monetary pressure that would, within a few years, produce the catastrophic paper money inflation of the Thousand Days War.
