Owner's Description

This Venezuela specimen note represents the 1998 Banco Central de Venezuela 1000 Bolívares, cataloged by PMG as Pick #76ds and certified Superb Gem Uncirculated 68 EPQ.

The note features a prominent portrait of Simón Bolívar at left, paired with elegant burgundy, green, and multicolor security elements throughout the face. The large central 1000 denomination and script “Mil Bolívares” title give the design a strong visual presence, while the background includes historical text and fine anti-counterfeiting detail from Venezuela’s late Bolívar-era banknote production.

As an official specimen, this example carries the all-zero serial number format 00000000, a bold red diagonal “ESPECIMEN SIN VALOR” overprint, and PMG notes the watermark as S. Bolívar. The printed issue date shown on the face is Agosto 6, 1998.

The 68 EPQ grade places this note at an elite level of preservation, with exceptional paper quality, strong originality, vivid color, and outstanding eye appeal. This example is a confirmed PMG Top Pop for the Pick #76ds specimen type, making it one of the finest certified examples currently recorded by PMG.

A standout high-grade specimen, this note is an important addition to the Planet Banknote Venezuela Specimen Collection: Bolívar to Bolívar Digital, documenting Venezuela’s official specimen issues from the traditional Bolívar era into the higher-denomination period that preceded the country’s later hyperinflationary currency history.
