| Opmerkingen |
Banco de Caldas was a departmental bank operating out of Manizales, one of several regional Colombian institutions that issued their own currency under the framework established after the abolition of the Banco Nacional in 1894. The American Bank Note Company produced paper for dozens of Latin American clients simultaneously, and the Caldas plates reflect that efficiency — competent work, unremarkable within ABNC's Colombian output.
The "Pesos Oro Legal" denomination was a deliberate legal distinction, pegging the note's value to gold rather than the depreciating paper peso that had plagued Colombia through the Thousand Days War and its aftermath. By 1919, the worst of the monetary chaos had settled, but the explicit "Oro Legal" remained politically necessary reassurance.
