Reyes Gonzales & Hermanos was a private commercial house operating in Colombia's interior during the late nineteenth century, when the country's fragmented banking system allowed merchant firms and regional banks alike to issue circulating notes under relatively loose federal oversight. The 1886 constitution had returned Colombia to a more centralized structure, but private emission continued in practice well into the 1890s.
P#S905 falls within the "S" (Specialized) section of the Pick catalogue — meaning this is not a national bank issue but a quasi-commercial one, the kind that circulated locally and rarely traveled far. Survival rates for provincial Colombian private issues of this period are genuinely low.
