2018 Venezuela 2 Bolivares Soberanos Banknote Josefa Camejo P-100 Note with Parrot
Issued by the Central Bank of Venezuela (Banco Central de Venezuela) and printed domestically by Casa de la Moneda Venezuela, this legal tender 2 Bolívares Soberanos banknote carries the printed authorization date of January 15, 2018. Cataloged internationally in the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money as Pick #100 (P-100) and The Banknote Book as B371, this emission forms the foundational denomination of the historic 2018 monetary revaluation series. The obverse is presented in a vertical orientation honoring national independence heroine Josefa Camejo (1791–1862), who fought in the Venezuelan War of Independence and led the historic insurrection of the Coro province, depicted alongside architectural vistas of Paraguaná and the authorized facsimile signatures of the BCV President and First Vice President. The horizontal reverse showcases native biodiversity and protected landscapes, featuring an engraved Yellow-shouldered Amazon parrot (Amazona barbadensis / Cotorra cabeciamarilla) perched upon a flowering columnar cactus against the coastal landscape of Cayo Sal in Morrocoy National Park (Parque Nacional Morrocoy), accompanied by the Venezuelan coat of arms. Security features include segmented windowed security threading, localized watermarking, microprinted text, and intricate multi-color background guilloche lathework. This piece serves as a key modern type specimen for collections focusing on South American paper money, Latin American revolutionary history, and global ornithological numismatics.
