| Opmerkingen |
El Banco Central was a short-lived Colombian institution, chartered in 1905 and dissolved not long after — which makes a note dated 1900 from this issuer worth a second look. The bank was granted note-issuing privileges during a period when Colombia's monetary system was still recovering from the chaos of the Thousand Days War, one of the bloodiest civil conflicts in the country's history, which had devastated the national currency and left the public deeply skeptical of paper instruments of any kind.
The American Bank Note Company contract for this series is well documented. Survival rates are low — wartime hoarding followed by a chaotic postwar redemption process accounted for most losses.
