This 10,000 bolívares banknote was issued by the Central Bank of Venezuela in 2017 as part of the Strong Bolívar (Bolívar Fuerte) series, introduced to address the country’s growing inflation. The obverse features a portrait of Pedro Camejo, also known as "Negro Primero," a renowned Afro-Venezuelan soldier who played a crucial role in the country's fight for independence. The reverse showcases the Orinoco Crocodile (Crocodylus intermedius), one of the largest and most endangered crocodile species in South America, set against the breathtaking landscape of Canaima National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Designed in orange and brown tones, this banknote incorporates modern security features, including watermarks, microtext, and UV elements, ensuring authenticity. As one of the highest denominations issued in the Bolívar Fuerte series before the next redenomination, this banknote is a notable collectible, reflecting Venezuela’s economic challenges during this period.
📌 Note: The serial number on the banknote may vary.
