The Banco Nacional de Colombia was a state-owned institution created in 1880 by the Regeneración government under Rafael Núñez, explicitly to fund public expenditure through paper money — a policy that triggered sustained inflation and eventually the catastrophic monetary collapse of the 1890s. This fractional note, denominated in the transitional dual notation of centavos and reales, was issued during the brief window when Colombia still officially maintained both scales before the centavo system displaced the older colonial reckoning entirely.
Homer Lee Bank Note Co. was a smaller New York security printer that handled several Latin American contracts during this period, operating in the shadow of larger competitors like American Bank Note Company. Their work on this series is competent but less celebrated.
