Vorderseitenbeschreibung The obverse is dominated by a central intaglio vignette of a classical female allegory seated amongst agricultural implements and a basket of produce, rendered in fine line engraving.

The bank title 'BANCO PRENDARIO DE SOTO' is set in bold letterpress across the upper portion, with the place name 'BUCARAMANGA' and date 'ENERO 1° DE 1884' inscribed in the upper corners, and a serial number and 'Serie B.' notation to the right of the vignette.

Anmerkungen

Banco Prendario de Soto was a pawnbroking institution, not a commercial bank in the conventional sense — its notes were backed by pledged collateral rather than metallic reserves or government guarantee. These quasi-fiduciary instruments circulated in a Colombia still operating under the liberal banking legislation of 1870–1871, which had opened the door to a proliferation of private issuing banks, many of them short-lived and thinly capitalized.

Litografía de B. Paredes was a local Bogotá printer with no international reputation for security printing, which makes this note a product of purely domestic production at a time when most Colombian banks of any ambition sent their plates to American Bank Note Company in New York.
