Banco de Sopetrán was a short-lived regional bank operating out of the municipality of Sopetrán in Antioquia, Colombia — one of dozens of private banks that emerged following Colombia's 1865 banking legislation, which allowed provincial commercial houses to issue their own currency. De La Rue's involvement is unsurprising; the London firm handled a substantial portion of Colombian provincial bank printing during this period, supplying engraved notes to institutions that lacked any domestic printing infrastructure of comparable quality.
The bank's operational lifespan was brief, and note survival rates from Antioqueño private banks of this era are generally low. Colombia's 1886 constitutional reorganization and the subsequent push toward centralized currency effectively killed the free banking period within a few years of this note's issue.
