COLOMBIA. Banco Nacional - Overprinted on Banco de Márquez. 5 Pesos. 1899. P-S652. PMG Very Fine 30.
The second denomination in this set of 1899 Banco Nacional Provisional notes, overprinted on an American Bank Note Co. printed Banco de Márquez, Barranquilla remainder note (P-S582). Soft green face tint with a fascinating female allegorical vignette. The tropical plants to the right are appropriate, but close details show a volcano (also appropriate) with the Dome of the Rock in the foreground (as would be seen on a Middle Eastern note). The male portrait appears on all the notes in the series and logically appears to be Márquez. Deeper green back. Punch hole cancelled and previously mounted are noted. A very tough to find note and series. PMG Very Fine 30.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian Paper Money.
Estimate: $500.00- $750.00
