Owner's Description

This Venezuela specimen note represents the 2018 Banco Central de Venezuela 500 Bolívares, cataloged by PMG as Pick #108bs and certified Superb Gem Uncirculated 67 EPQ.

Printed by CMV, this note belongs to Venezuela’s modern redenomination period and features Simón Bolívar in a vertical-format design. The yellow, gold, olive, and brown color palette gives the note a bold modern appearance, while the security layout reflects Venezuela’s later currency issues during one of the most dramatic monetary periods in modern history.

As an official specimen, this example carries the serial format B000000000 1244, a red diagonal “MUESTRA SIN VALOR” overprint, and specimen marking Muestra Nr. 1244. PMG also notes the watermark as S. Bolívar & BCV. The printed date shown on the note is 18 de Mayo de 2018.

The 67 EPQ grade confirms exceptional paper quality, strong originality, vivid color, and excellent overall presentation. As a Superb Gem specimen from Venezuela’s 2018 redenominated series, this note represents an important stage in the country’s rapid monetary transition.

This note is a strong addition to the Planet Banknote Venezuela Specimen Collection: Bolívar to Bolívar Digital, helping document the progression from Venezuela’s earlier Bolívar and Bolívar Fuerte issues into the later hyperinflation-era redenominated currency series.
