| Opmerkingen |
The Tesorería del Gobierno Provisional de Colombia issued this note during the War of a Thousand Days — the devastating civil conflict between Liberal and Conservative factions that ran from 1899 to 1902 and effectively bankrupted the Colombian state. Provisional government paper from this period was produced under severe fiscal duress, and public trust in such emissions was essentially nonexistent. Notes circulated by necessity, not confidence.
The Pick 295B designation suggests a variety distinction within the series — likely a signature, date, or overprint difference from the parent type. These provisional treasury issues are poorly documented, and surviving specimens are rarely encountered in collector networks outside Colombia.
