About this banknote
The Tesorería de la República de Bolivia issued this 50 centavos banknote on November 29, 1902, under the authorization of the Ley de 29 de Noviembre de 1902.

The obverse features the Bolivian coat of arms at the center, with the issuer's name at the top and the denomination in numerals at each corner. The reverse displays the text of the November 29, 1902 law, specifying the note's legal tender status in designated regions. Printed by the American Bank Note Company of New York, this note measures 138 x 68 mm and was demonetized at an unspecified date.
