The Homer Lee Bank Note Company was a mid-tier American security printer that operated out of New York during the 1880s and 1890s, competing against the better-known ABNCo and NBNCo for Latin American contracts. Their work for Colombian banks during this period was competent but not exceptional — they were rarely the first choice for prestige issues.
The dual-denomination format, pesos and dollars at parity, reflects the commercial reality of Bogotá's trading relationships in the 1880s, when dollar-denominated transactions with North American merchants were common enough to warrant explicit equivalence on the face of the note. The undated year field — printed as "188_" — places issue sometime within the decade but no closer.
