About this banknote
The Banco de la República issued the 2000 pesos banknote in Colombia in 1994. This series was introduced as part of a monetary update, with signatures from Miguel Urrutia Montoya and Fernando Copete Saldarriaga. Notably, it followed a period where significant banknote theft occurred, as 1,700,000 pieces of the earlier series were stolen in 1994.
The front of the note features an image of Simón Bolívar on the left, with the words "EL" and "ORO" deleted from the original prints. The back side depicts a scene at Peso del Paramo de Pisba at the center right but omits the orange color. The note was printed by the IBSFB, and the watermark features Simón Bolívar.
