COLOMBIA. Banco de Bogotá. 1 Peso, 5 Pesos, 10 Pesos, ND (1919). 4% Notes. P-S297p, S298p, S299p. Face and Back Proofs.6 Pieces in lot. A complete denomination set of these proofs from the ABNCo. auctions. These were virtually unknown until the first 1990 ABNCo. sale. The face design is relatively plain in comparison with other previous “Banco” printed notes, but that was in kind with their circulating loan certificate obligation. However, the monument vignette seen on the backs for this issue is stately and has the bank’s founding date of 1871 across the top. All are India paper proofs on wide margined cards. Choice Uncirculated 64(2), Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ (3), and the 10 Pesos back is Choice Uncirculated 63 Net with some noted (edge) tears. All are bold and fresh.
