This 5,000 bolívares banknote was issued by the Central Bank of Venezuela in 2017 as part of the Strong Bolívar (Bolívar Fuerte) series, introduced to combat the effects of hyperinflation. The obverse features a portrait of Pedro Camejo, also known as "Negro Primero," a celebrated Afro-Venezuelan soldier who fought for independence. The reverse showcases the Orinoco Crocodile (Crocodylus intermedius), one of the most endangered crocodile species, set against the striking backdrop of Canaima National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Designed in reddish-brown tones, this banknote includes modern security features, such as watermarks, microtext, and UV elements, ensuring authenticity. As one of the higher denominations in the Bolívar Fuerte series before its redenomination, this banknote is a significant collectible, reflecting Venezuela’s economic challenges during this period.
📌 Note: The serial number on the banknote may vary.
