Comments

Colombia's central bank printing facility — the Imprenta de Billetes — was established in Bogotá in the 1950s, and by the 1990s was handling virtually the entire domestic currency output, a degree of self-sufficiency unusual among Latin American nations of comparable size. This note belongs to a transitional period: the city was officially renamed Santa Fe de Bogotá under the 1991 constitution, and the printer's imprint reflects that short-lived designation, used only until 2000 when the name reverted.

The watermark-only security suite is notably sparse for a four-figure denomination by mid-1990s standards, when security thread and color-shifting ink were already common among peer issuers.
