| Opmerkingen |
Colombia's Banco de la República issued this note during a period of severe external pressure: the country had suspended gold convertibility in 1931 as the Great Depression drained reserves, and the overprint program was a direct administrative response to that dislocation. Rather than commission entirely new plates, the bank authorized ABNC to apply overprints to existing stock — a faster and cheaper route to putting reconfigured currency into circulation during a crisis year.
The ABNC connection here is unambiguous: New York was both the design source and the press.
