The Estado Soberano de Bolívar was one of nine sovereign states within Colombia's federal structure under the 1863 Rionegro Constitution, each empowered to issue its own currency. Rafael Núñez signed this note in his capacity as the state's governor — the same Núñez who would later dismantle the very federal system that made such regional issues possible, replacing it with the centralist 1886 constitution and a single national bank.
The Compañia Colombiana de Billetes de Banco, despite the Colombian name, operated out of Washington D.C. and handled security printing for several of these sovereign-state issues during the 1870s.
