| Anmerkungen |
The 1904 Colombian 50 Pesos belongs to a turbulent monetary moment. The Thousand Days' War (1899–1902) had left the country's finances wrecked, with the Banco Nacional having printed paper money so aggressively during the conflict that hyperinflation destroyed public confidence in Colombian currency entirely. The bank was liquidated in 1904, and the government moved to consolidate and reissue under tighter controls — this note is part of that transitional effort.
Waterlow & Sons produced the series in London, as they did for numerous Latin American republics at the time. Carlos Arturo Torres, one of the facsimile signatories here, was also a significant literary figure — poet, essayist, later Colombian minister to London. An unusual name to find on a banknote.
