A Piece of World History — Venezuela's 20,000 Bolivar Note
The Venezuelan 20,000 bolivar banknote is a symbol of the South American economy and a beautiful coin that reflects the nation's turbulent history and pride. Issued in 2019, this banknote was one of the last high-denomination notes circulated by the Central Bank of Venezuela (Banco Central de Venezuela), making it highly sought-after by collectors and historians.
The obverse features a portrait of Venezuelan independence hero **Simón Bolívar**. He is a symbol of the South American independence movement and is known as "El Libertador (Liberator of South America)." His dignified expression and delicate carving express the pride and passion for freedom of the Venezuelan people.
The reverse side features the Simón Bolívar Mausoleum in the capital, Caracas. This building is a spiritual symbol of the nation and a symbol of national unity and hope. The beautiful green-based color scheme reflects the natural beauty of Venezuela, and the entire banknote exudes a deep sense of artistry and national pride.

Historical background
In 2019, Venezuela was facing severe hyperinflation. As a result, the denomination of banknotes was rapidly increased, including the 20,000 bolivar note. This is not just a currency, but also a historical document symbolizing the country's economic crisis and the resilience of its people.
This banknote was the final issue of the Bolívar Fuerte in Venezuela's monetary history, which was replaced by the Bolívar Soberano the following year. As such, it is highly sought after in the international collector's market as a symbol of this transitional period.
⸻
Attractive to collectors
• High exclusivity: These banknotes were in circulation for only a short period during a period of hyperinflation, and existing unused ones are extremely rare.
• Historical value: This coin symbolizes a political and economic turning point and is a valuable resource for the study of modern history.
• Artistic design: The portrait of Simon Bolivar and the architectural beauty of the memorial mausoleum make this a particularly beautiful banknote design.
• Investment potential: As historical banknotes that are expected to increase in value in the future, they are popular for collection and asset preservation purposes.
