备注	Colombia's 1819 issue predates the formal establishment of Gran Colombia by months — Bolívar's Angostura congress had just declared the republic, but the treasury was effectively bankrupt and the war against Spain was ongoing. Financing that campaign required outside resources, including these notes printed by Peter Maverick in New York, one of the few engravers in the Americas capable of producing currency-quality work at the time. The dual denomination — 50 Centavos equated to 4 Reales — reflects the awkward coexistence of the old Spanish colonial monetary system with the decimal structure the republic intended to adopt. That tension wasn't resolved cleanly for years.
