| Comments |
Miguel Urrutia Montoya served as Gerente General of the Banco de la República from 1993 to 2005 — an unusually long tenure for a Colombian central bank governor — which is why his signature appears across the full run of this series without interruption. His co-signer, Gerardo Hernández Correa, held the position of Codirector during the same stretch.
The Casa de Moneda de Colombia, which produced this note throughout the series, is one of the few Latin American mints with an unbroken institutional history dating to the colonial period. Printing domestically rather than contracting abroad had been Banco de la República policy since the 1980s.
