20 Bolívares

The Banco Venezolano de Crédito was a private commercial bank operating under Venezuela's 1940 banking law predecessor framework, and its note-issuing authority during the 1930s placed it among a handful of regional banks still legally permitted to circulate private paper alongside the Banco Central, which would not be established until 1939. That institutional shift effectively ended this series — notes dated into 1939 were among the last issued before centralized currency control rendered private bank circulation obsolete.

ABNC printed for dozens of Latin American issuers during this period, and the S247 shares production infrastructure with several contemporary Venezuelan private bank issues. Distinguishing genuine from later forgeries typically comes down to the intaglio depth on the serial numerals.
