2 Pesos Oro

Colombia's 2 Pesos Oro denomination had an unusually long print run under this single Pick number — the 1942 start date coincides with wartime restrictions that pushed several Latin American central banks toward ABNC for security printing, as European alternatives were either inaccessible or unreliable. The series ran through 1955 without a redesign, which was itself a policy choice: the Banco de la República was deliberately conservative about introducing new small-denomination notes during the inflationary pressures of the late 1940s.

ABNC's intaglio work on Colombian issues of this period is generally considered among their cleaner contract printing, though the 2 Pesos Oro is the lowest denomination in the series and shows correspondingly higher wear rates in surviving examples — heavy retail use will do that.
