This 5 bolívares banknote was issued by the Central Bank of Venezuela in 2009 as part of the Strong Bolívar (Bolívar Fuerte) series. The obverse features a portrait of José Félix Ribas, a key figure in Venezuela’s War of Independence, who played a crucial role in several battles for liberation. The reverse displays the Black-hooded Red Howler (Alouatta seniculus), a primate species native to Venezuela, set against the picturesque landscape of Guatopo National Park, emphasizing the country'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 ensure authenticity. As Venezuela experienced economic transformations, banknotes from this period have become significant collectibles, reflecting the nation’s financial and historical evolution.
