The Banco Central de Bolivia was established by law in July 1928, replacing the older Banco de la Nación Boliviana, and this 1000 Bolivianos note belongs to that inaugural emission — one of the first series issued under the new central bank's authority. The unusually large number of signature combinations across the series reflects the institutional turbulence of the period; Bolivia cycled through board personnel rapidly, particularly in the years surrounding the Great Depression and the fiscal pressures that preceded the Chaco War.
The shift within the series from handwritten to printed signatures — three combinations of the former, two of the latter — suggests a mid-run production decision, possibly driven by volume demands or administrative preference.
