The P#72 series belongs to a period when Venezuela's oil revenues were collapsing and inflation was accelerating hard — the Caracazo riots of February 1989 had already shaken the Pérez government, and the bolivar was under sustained pressure. Denominations that had seemed generous at the start of the decade were becoming inadequate within a few years of issue.
ABNC printed this series using intaglio techniques they had refined over generations of Latin American contracts. By 1990 the company was in its final years as an independent entity — it was acquired and dissolved in 1999.
