2020 Venezuela 200k 500k 1M Bolivares Soberano Set 3x100 UNC 300 Pcs Hyperinflation

Here’s a full three-denomination hyperinflation lot from Venezuela’s final bolívar soberano series:

• 200,000 Bolívares – Pick P-112 – 100 notes

• 500,000 Bolívares – Pick P-113 – 100 notes

• 1,000,000 Bolívares – Pick P-114 – 100 notes

All notes are 2020 issues, New Uncirculated, and come as three complete bundles of 100 (total 300 banknotes), exactly as delivered by the Banco Central de Venezuela.

These were the last and highest denominations of the bolívar soberano, introduced to the public in March 2021, just months before the October 2021 redenomination into the bolívar digital at 1,000,000:1.

Historical significance – the last Soberano notes

By early 2021 Venezuela’s hyperinflation had again made existing denominations nearly useless. On 8 March 2021 the Central Bank released just three new notes—200k, 500k and 1,000,000 bolívares—to ease cash shortages. Even the million-bolívar note was worth well under one US dollar at issue.

Only a few months later, in October 2021, the currency was redenominated into the bolívar digital, chopping six zeros off prices. These 2020-dated pieces therefore represent the final chapter of the Soberano and some of the highest face values ever printed for Venezuela.

Design & features by denomination

200,000 Bolívares – P-112

• Obverse (vertical): Bust of Simón Bolívar facing left, with running horse and “BCV” registration device; dark olive and green tones.

• Reverse (horizontal): The Arco de Triunfo (Arch of Triumph) at Campo de Carabobo, Venezuela’s coat of arms, and a reproduction of Martín Tovar y Tovar’s painting “Batalla de Carabobo” – tying the note to the decisive 1821 independence victory.

500,000 Bolívares – P-113

• Obverse: Same Bolívar portrait and layout as the 200k, in richer purple shades.

• Reverse: Mausoleum of the Liberator Simón Bolívar and the National Pantheon in Caracas, with the national coat of arms—sites that house the remains and memory of Bolívar himself.

1,000,000 Bolívares – P-114

• Obverse: Simón Bolívar portrait again, here with stronger brown-purple color to set the top value apart.

• Reverse: The Monument to the Motherland on the Fields of Carabobo and imagery for the 200th Anniversary of the Battle of Carabobo, echoing Tovar y Tovar’s historic battle scenes.

Across the series, fine guilloches, latent images, microtext, and fluorescent elements under UV provide additional security while giving the notes a distinct modern look.

Remarkable denominations

In pre-redenomination terms, these values are enormous:

• 200,000 Bs = 0.2 new bolívar digital

• 500,000 Bs = 0.5 new bolívar digital

• 1,000,000 Bs = 1.0 new bolívar digital

Because 1 digital bolívar = 1,000,000 soberanos, each 1,000,000-Bs note effectively compresses one full new bolívar into a single hyperinflation-era piece. These are some of the highest nominal banknote values ever issued in the Americas.

Collector’s value

As a ready-made three-bundle (300 note) set of Venezuela’s last Soberano notes, this lot is perfect for anyone building a hyperinflation, Latin-American, or modern monetary-history collection. You get full bricks of each denomination—ideal for album displays, educational demonstrations about redenominations, or trading and gifting extras—while the shared Bolívar portrait and patriotic battle imagery give the group strong visual cohesion. With redenomination and withdrawal already in the rear-view mirror, complete UNC bundles like this are getting harder to assemble and make a striking “time capsule” of Venezuela’s turbulent 2020–2021 period.
