| 裏面の説明 | Uniface green intaglio back dominated by an elaborate symmetrical guilloche pattern at centre, composed of concentric rosette and foliate lathe-work radiating outward to interlocking geometric bordure. The denomination numeral 40 appears in each of the four corners within ornate scroll cartouches, and fine engine-turned trellis work fills the remaining ground. The imprint of the American Bank Note Company, New York, appears at the lower margin. |

The Banco de Maracaibo was a regional private bank operating out of Venezuela's most commercially active port city, and its notes circulated primarily within Zulia state rather than nationally. American Bank Note Company in New York supplied most of Venezuela's private banking paper during this period — the logistical reality of nineteenth-century Latin American finance, where local printing infrastructure simply couldn't meet the security requirements banks and their clients demanded.
The 40-bolívar denomination is an odd unit, almost certainly calibrated to a specific commercial or exchange need rather than fitting any standard monetary series. Worth investigating whether companion denominations in the S206 sequence follow a similarly irregular pattern.
