Comments

Colombia brought its banknote printing fully in-house during the early 1990s, and this note was among the first high-denomination issues to come entirely from the Banco de la República's own Imprenta de Billetes facility in Santa Fe de Bogotá — the city's transitional name, used only between 1991 and 2000 following a constitutional provision that briefly restored the capital's colonial designation.

The watermark-only security specification reflects a period before the Imprenta had fully upgraded to the layered security technologies introduced on later Colombian series. Within a few years, this denomination would be retired as inflation pushed everyday transactions into the tens of thousands.
