| Opmerkingen |
Antioquia's departmental government began issuing its own fractional paper currency during the Thousand Days' War (1899–1902), one of the most destructive civil conflicts in Colombian history. The national monetary system had effectively collapsed under wartime inflation and Bogotá's unchecked emission of paper pesos, forcing regional authorities to fill the gap with locally printed scrip.
The Imprenta Oficial in Medellín was a government printing house, not a specialist security printer. Notes produced there lack the intaglio work or anti-counterfeiting sophistication of contemporary European-printed Colombian issues, and forgeries circulated alongside genuine examples during the period.
