The Banco de Caracas was a privately chartered institution, one of several Venezuelan commercial banks authorized to issue currency during the late nineteenth century before the state consolidated that authority. This 20 Bolívares note dates from the early years of the Guzmán Blanco administration's monetary reforms, which had formally established the bolívar as the national unit just a few years prior in 1879 — making early-dated issues from this period among the first circulating examples of the denomination by name.
ABNC's engraved intaglio work on Venezuelan private bank paper from this period is typically fine, executed on contract from New York without local overprinting complications.
