YA We gratefully acknowledge numismatist Yezid Acosta who provided the above image and the background information below. Visit his website for in-depth information and images of Colombia coins and banknotes and other related issues.
The above 1 Real banknote is from an issue of
only 300,000 notes printed in
Cartagena
to help finance New Grenada's struggle for independence. It was printed on regular paper and
had poor
acceptance among the people since gold and silver were the
coins of the realm. The note was signed by the President of the Junta
Patriótica in Cartagena, German Gutierrez de Piñerez. It is reported
to be one of only 6 known to have survived. |
