Venezuela 10,000 Bolivar Fuerte Banknote, 2016-2017, P-98, Used

Though the bolivar fuerte had an exchange rate of 1,000:1 with the old currency, the hyperinflation experienced by Venezuela necessitated new banknotes with higher denominations. Introduced on August 18, 2016, the 10,000 bolivar fuerte banknote is vertically oriented on the obverse side and horizontally oriented on the reverse side. The obverse showcases Simon Rodriguez, Simon Bolivars tutor and mentor. The reverse side depicts a Tremarctos ornatos (spectacled bear) crouched in front of the Laguna del Santo Cristo in the Sierra Nevada National Park. This used note has a windowed security thread with demetalized BCV, a watermark of Simon Rodriguez and an electrotype watermark of 10000. The notes dimensions are 156 mm by 69 mm.
