Commentary


Le Venezuela entra dans l'Union Latine en 1879. Le système monétaire resta inchangé jusqu'en 1936. On estime que seulement 10 % du total des exemplaires frappés ont été distribués. Il s’agit ici de la première année d’émission.

Historical background


VENEZUELA - REPUBLIC

(since 1843)

Venezuela revolted against Spanish tutelage and proclaimed its independence on July 5, 1811. Miranda was the first president (1750-1816), but the Spanish quickly regained possession of the country. Simon Bolivar (1783-1830) defeats the Spaniards on June 24, 1821 and gives Venezuela its definitive independence. He will be president of the confederation formed by Peru, Colombia and Venezuela, but will die in exile.
