4 Reales / 50 Centavos

Among the earliest paper emissions tied to the Gran Colombian independence struggle, this note was printed by Peter Maverick in New York — a significant detail. Maverick was a well-regarded engraver and printer who worked for several newly independent Latin American governments during this period, supplying printed material that the nascent republics lacked the infrastructure to produce themselves.

The dual denomination — 4 Reales and 50 Centavos — reflects the transitional monetary arithmetic of a government simultaneously inheriting Spanish colonial units and reaching toward a decimalized future.
