Front: White-fronted capuchin monkey (Cebus albifrons), native to northern South America including Venezuela's tropical forests. The species is known for its intelligence and adaptability. The design features the Cienaga de Juan Manuel National Park in Zulia state, a significant protected wetland ecosystem, with text reading 'Parque Nacional Ciénaga de Juan Manuel - Relámpago del Catatumbo' referencing the Catatumbo lightning phenomenon. The Venezuelan coat of arms appears at left.

Back: Simón Bolívar (1783–1830), Venezuelan military and political leader who led independence movements across South America, liberating Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia from Spanish rule. Known as 'El Libertador', Bolívar is the most revered figure in Venezuelan history and the namesake of the national currency. The portrait is rendered in fine-line intaglio engraving. The numeral '20' appears at right.

The story

Background & history

This note belongs to the Bolívar Fuerte ('Strong Bolívar') series introduced on January 1, 2008, when Venezuela redenominated its currency by removing three zeros (1000 old bolívares = 1 bolívar fuerte). The series was issued 2007–2018 and featured Venezuelan wildlife on the obverse with portraits of independence heroes on the reverse. This 10 bolívares fuerte note was part of the original denomination structure. The currency was replaced by the Bolívar Soberano on August 20, 2018, following severe hyperinflation, with another redenomination removing five zeros. Pick P-90 is well-documented for this denomination. The white-fronted capuchin and Catatumbo lightning (the world's greatest single generator of tropospheric ozone) represent Venezuela's natural biodiversity and unique meteorological phenomena.
