The Banco de la República had relied on ABNC for its higher-denomination printings since the 1920s, and this series continued that relationship well into the 1960s — a period when Colombia's coffee export revenues were volatile enough that the central bank was actively managing note supply against inflationary pressure. The long issuance window of nearly a decade reflects deliberate staggered release rather than a single print run.
P#402 is frequently encountered with heavy fold wear at the center horizontal, a predictable wear pattern for a note of this weight that circulated actively in commercial transactions.
