Denomination numerals "1.000" appear at lower left and "1000" at upper and lower right, with the date "Bogotá, Marzo 4 de 1895" and the printer's imprint along the lower margin. |

The Banco Nacional de Colombia had a troubled institutional life — founded in 1881, it was repeatedly accused of overissuing paper currency to cover government deficits, and was formally liquidated in 1894. Notes continued to circulate and be issued under its name into 1895 during the wind-down period, which gives this high-denomination piece an odd institutional status: printed for a bank that was already being dissolved.
Franklin-Lee Bank Note Company was a relatively short-lived New York engraver, active in the 1890s and known primarily for Latin American contracts. Their work on Colombian issues is among the better-documented portions of their output.
