| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in a pale green tone with a sparse guilloche underprint. A central rectangular panel carries a multi-line Spanish text stating that this note circulates provisionally as a Banco Nacional note in accordance with a decree dated Bogotá, October 1899. Below the text panel appear three handwritten signatures, with the designation MINISTRO DEL TESORO printed above the uppermost signature and MIEMBROS DE LA JUNTA DE EMISIÓN printed beneath the lower two. |

| Opmerkingen |
Banco Nacional was one of several private banks authorized to issue currency in Colombia during the late nineteenth century — a system that collapsed spectacularly when the government revoked issuing privileges in 1894 and then reversed course under fiscal pressure. Notes carrying an 1899 date were issued in the final, chaotic phase of that arrangement, just as the Thousand Days War was beginning to tear the country apart. Hyperinflation would follow within a few years, rendering most circulating paper worthless.
The S-prefix in the Pick reference places this within the Specialized catalog's Colombian private bank listings, a section notorious for incomplete survivor data.
