This 5 bolívares banknote was issued by the Central Bank of Venezuela in 2007 as part of the Strong Bolívar (Bolívar Fuerte) series, introduced during the country's currency redenomination. The obverse features a portrait of José Félix Ribas, a key military leader in Venezuela’s fight for independence. The reverse showcases the Black-hooded Red Howler (Alouatta seniculus), a primate species native to Venezuela, set against the backdrop of Guatopo National Park, highlighting the nation's rich biodiversity.
The banknote is designed in warm brown and orange tones and includes modern security features, such as watermarks, microtext, and UV elements to prevent counterfeiting. As part of a significant monetary reform, this banknote represents an important era in Venezuela’s financial history and is a sought-after collectible among numismatists.
