Owner's Description

This Venezuela specimen note represents the 1998 Banco Central de Venezuela 100 Bolívares, cataloged by PMG as Pick #66gs and certified Superb Gem Uncirculated 67 EPQ.

The note features a striking portrait of Simón Bolívar at right, paired with an intricate guilloche-style design and ornate denomination panels that give the issue a distinctive late-Bolívar-era appearance. The elegant layout, detailed line work, and balanced color palette make this a particularly attractive specimen from Venezuela’s modern pre-hyperinflation period.

As an official specimen, this example carries the serial format G00000000 1960, along with the printed “SPECIMEN No. 1960” notation and a bold red diagonal “SPECIMEN SIN VALOR” overprint. PMG also notes the watermark as S. Bolívar. The printed date on the face is Octubre 13, 1998.

The 67 EPQ grade confirms exceptional originality, premium paper quality, and outstanding eye appeal. This example is a confirmed PMG Top Pop for the Pick #66gs specimen type, placing it among the finest certified examples currently recorded by PMG.

A superb high-grade specimen, this note is an important part of the Planet Banknote Venezuela Specimen Collection: Bolívar to Bolívar Digital, representing the refined artistry and official specimen production of Venezuela’s late Bolívar series.
