Pick 163 had an exceptionally long run for a single series — the sheer number of signature combinations, seventeen in total, reflects continuous reuse of the same design across multiple administrations and central bank presidencies throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s. Thomas De La Rue supplied the printed sheets; signatures were applied locally as personnel turned over. The back carries a second currency legend, accommodating Bolivia's transitional monetary nomenclature as the country moved toward the Peso Boliviano system following the 1963 monetary reform that officially replaced the Boliviano at a rate of 1,000 to 1.
