2000 Bolívares

By 2016, Venezuela's monetary situation was deteriorating fast enough that the government turned to Cuba's state mint to handle part of its banknote production — a politically convenient arrangement given the two governments' alignment, but an unusual one for a country that had previously relied on established European and American security printers. The 2,000 bolívar denomination itself was introduced as hyperinflation eroded the purchasing power of smaller notes into near-irrelevance.

Security provision on this issue is relatively modest for the period — watermark and thread, without the optical features common on contemporaneous issues from De La Rue or Giesecke & Devrient.
