Identification note: Exact Pick catalog number and precise issue year within the early-1980s releases not confirmed from images alone. | The note matches the Bolivia 500 Pesos bolivianos type of the early 1980s: issuer BANCO CENTRAL DE BOLIVIA; denomination QUINIENTOS PESOS BOLIVIANOS; law text DECRETO SUPREMO DE 10 DE JUNIO DE 1981; portrait at right labeled AVAROA (Eduardo Abaroa); reverse titled PUERTO DE ANTOFAGASTA 1872; printed by THOMAS DE LA RUE AND COMPANY LIMITED; Serie B and an 8‑digit serial in the stated range. These attributes identify the 1981–84 500 pesos bolivianos type in SCWPM.
