| 正面描述 | Single-sided libranza printed in red-brown on cream paper, enclosed within a decorative guilloche border of repeated rosette ornaments. The Colombian national arms vignette appears at upper left, flanked by the issuing authority title and the place of issue boxed as 'BOGOTÁ'; a large numeral '500' overprint in bold occupies the centre-right of the note, with the serial number in a rectangular panel. The body of the note carries a lengthy printed text in Spanish addressed to the Administradores de Aduanas y Salinas, with a diagonal 'LIBRANZA DE TESORERÍA' watermark-style overprint running across the face. |

The Tesorería General de la Unión occupied a peculiar role in Colombian monetary history — it was a fiscal agency, not a bank, yet it issued paper currency during a period when the country's banking infrastructure was fragmented across state lines and private concessions. The 1880s emissions were tied directly to chronic government deficits, and 500-peso denominations at this level were not retail money; they moved between merchants, government contractors, and customs houses.
Local Bogotá printing for high-denomination government paper at this date is worth noting — most comparable regional issuers were still dependent on American Bank Note Company or European printers. Whether this reflects nationalist procurement policy or simple expedience is unresolved in the literature.
