Comments

On 1953 the name of the country was changed by the constitution, from EEUU de Venezuela (United States of Venezuela) to República de Venezuela (Republic of Venezuela). This change is reflected on all banknotes after 1953 on the reverse side inside the Coat of Arms. Note that SCWPM makes no distinction of such name change.
