About this banknote
The Banco Central de Bolivia issued this 50 bolivianos banknote in 1928, following the enactment of the Law of July 20, 1928. This legislation authorized the central bank to assume the exclusive right to issue currency, marking a significant step in consolidating Bolivia's monetary system.
The obverse features a central view of Potosí, with a portrait of Simón Bolívar to the right. The reverse displays the national coat of arms at the center. Printed by Waterlow & Sons, this note measures 136 x 74 mm and is predominantly purple on green, with lilac and yellow underprint. It was demonetized in 1963 when the first boliviano was replaced by the peso boliviano at a rate of 1,000 to 1.
