The "New seal" designation in the catalog distinguishes this note from the earlier P#444 issues that carried the old Banco de la República seal design — a small but administratively significant change rolled out as part of a broader visual standardization across the series in the late 1990s. The bank's in-house printing facility, the Imprenta de Billetes, has operated since 1959 and handles nearly all Colombian domestic note production, making foreign-contracted printings the exception rather than the rule for this period.
Security specifications here are modest relative to contemporaneous Latin American issues — watermark and thread only, without the optical variable ink or microprinting added to later Colombian emissions.
