This 5 bolívares banknote was issued by the Central Bank of Venezuela in 1989 as part of the Bolívar (VEF) series, before the later currency redenominations. The obverse features a portrait of José Félix Ribas, a renowned Venezuelan independence hero who played a key role in the fight against Spanish colonial rule. The reverse showcases an artistic depiction of the Battle of La Victoria (1814), one of Ribas' most notable victories, symbolizing his military leadership.
Designed in green and beige tones, this banknote includes security features characteristic of its time, such as watermarks and intricate guilloche patterns. As a pre-inflation Venezuelan banknote, it holds significant historical and numismatic value, making it a valuable collectible.
📌 Note: The serial number on the banknote may vary.
