The Tesorería General del Departamento de Santander issued this note during the opening phase of the Thousand Days' War — the devastating civil conflict between Colombian Liberal and Conservative factions that ran from 1899 to 1902. Santander was Liberal stronghold territory, and departmental treasuries across the country resorted to locally printed emergency emissions as the national monetary system fractured under the strain of war finance.
Printed by the Tipografía Mercantil in Bucaramanga — a commercial press, not a security printer — the note carries none of the engraved intaglio work associated with formal banknote production. Counterfeiting would have been straightforward.
