| Comments |
Banco de Rio Hacha was one of several short-lived private Colombian banks granted note-issuing privileges under the country's 1865 banking law, operating out of a small Caribbean port town whose commercial importance had declined sharply since the colonial tobacco trade collapsed. The bank's lifespan was brief, and surviving notes from this issuer in any denomination are genuinely uncommon.
American Bank Note Company held the printing contract, as it did for the majority of Colombian private bank emissions during this period — the firm essentially standardized the look of Colombian provincial paper money in the 1880s. The S-prefix in the Pick reference places this firmly in the Specialized catalogue's Colombian private bank section, where the Rio Hacha listings occupy only a few lines.
