For more information on three other Banknotes (50, 20 & 10 Boliviano), already circulated in the new 2018 Banknote Series by the "Banco Centrale de Bolivia" and the evolution of Banknotes in Bolivia, please visit the following link:
Bolivia (officially known as "The Plurinacional State of Bolivia") isa landlocked country located in Western-central South America. Its capital is Sure, but the seat of government and financial centre is in La Paz. The largest city is Santa Cruz de la Sierra. It is bordered to the North and East by Brazil, to the South-east by Paraguay, to the South by Argentina, to the North-west by Peru.
Its population of about 11.0 million people is multi-ethnic and includes Amerindians, Mestizos, Europeans, Asians and Africans. Before Spanish colonisation, the Andean region of Bolivia was part of the INCA Empire. Spanish conquistadors coming from Cuzco and Asuncion occupied the region during the 16th Century AD.
The Independence Movement/Revolution of 1809 was followed by 16 years of intense wars, before the Republic was established by Simon Bolivar, a Venezuelan National Hero, whose leadership liberated several South American countries, including Bolivia, from the Spanish yoke.
The Boliviano is the currency of Bolivia, denominated in 100 Cents or Centavos in Spanish. Its name is derived from Simon Bolivar, Venezuelan National Hero.
The 2018 Banknote Series (or the Second Series):
In 2018, the Banco Centrale de Bolivia (or "The Central Bank of Bolivia") has introduced new designs in a family of five Banknotes which are replacing the existing designs with the theme of "Figures of the Libertarian deed, Flora and Fauna in danger of extinction and National Heritage".
These Banknotes will bear the official name of the country "Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia" to reflect the multi-culturalism of the country and all its citizens.
The denominations included in this Series are - 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 Bolivianos, which retain the presently circulating numerical values.
The predominant colours of the new Banknotes are similar to the presently circulating ones - 10 Boliviano (blue), 20 Boliviano (orange), 50 Boliviano (violet), 100 Boliviano (red) and 200 Boliviano (brown).
All denominations are printed on cotton paper as hitherto-before.
The denominations are scheduled to be issued from April 2018 until 2019 at intervals of three months approximately. Three denominations have already been circulated - 50, 20 and 10 Boliviano. The 100 Boliviano Banknote has been issued on 15th January 2019, while the Banknote denomination of 200 Boliviano is expected to be introduced into circulation in April 2019.
The printing of these Banknotes is being done by Oberthur Fiduciare SAS.
The existing Banknotes will continue to be in circulation, until they are used up or taken out of circulation by the Banks on deposit thereat.
The Front of the new 100 Boliviano Banknote, shown against a background image of the Back of the Banknote
The Front of the 100 Boliviano Banknote depicts three legendary historical personalities, Juana Azurduy de Padilla, Alejo Calatayud and Marshal Antonio Jose de Sucre.
Juana Azurduy de Padilla: She was the daughter of an indigenous mother and guerrilla fighter who was a heroine in the early 19th Century War of Independence.
She was awarded the rank of a generalby Argentina in 2009 and the title of Mariscal - the highest military rank by Bolivia in 2011.
Alejo Calatayud: He was a silversmith who led the first mestizo (on of mixed race with Spanish and indigenous heritage) uprising against Spanish colonists.
Marshal Antonio Jose de Sucre: He was a close friend of Simon Bolivar, second President of Bolivia, fourth President of Peru and freedom fighter for Venezuela, Ecuador and Colombia.
In the centre of this face is depicted a view of the famous Casa de la Moneda (meaning "The House of Money" or the "Mint") in the city of Potosi.
On the Back of the 100 Boliviano Banknote is seen the landscape of the Arco Ins Falls located in the department of Santa Cruz.
The fauna and flora included on the Back is the Blue Paraba - a bird from Bolivia's East known for its large size upto 30 inches and the Flor patuju, a flower recognised as a patriotic symbol in the Bolivian Constitution.
One image of the Blue Paraba contains a device showing circles that change colour from green to blue when tilted.
A 1.57 inch security thread has an image of de Padilla and the denominational value that switches from red to gold when tilted.
The Banknote has been printed on 100% cotton, like the other Banknotes in this Series.
The Dimensions of this Banknote are 5.5 inches x 2.76 inches. As with the other Banknotes, it will circulate concurrently with the presently circulating Banknotes of the same denomination, till they are gradually withdrawn from circulation.
