To the left, a large guilloche rosette contains the numeral '1000' at its centre. The bank title appears in a bold letterpress panel at the top, with the denomination legend in a similar panel at the foot, and the printer's imprint at the base. |

| Comments |
Bolivia's 1982 hyperinflationary spiral made this denomination obsolete almost immediately after issue. The Peso Boliviano itself was replaced wholesale in 1987 by the Boliviano at a rate of one million to one — a ratio that tells you more about those years than any economic summary could.
Three signature combinations exist for P#167, reflecting rapid turnover in the Central Bank's leadership during a period of acute political and fiscal instability. The Rossel pairings are considerably more common than the Milton Paz variant.
