| Beschrijving voorzijde | A pomegranate in full fruit, shown partially open to reveal its seeds, rendered in low relief at the centre of the field and set upon a foliate stem with two broad spreading leaves. The pomegranate, a traditional heraldic emblem of Granada, is depicted in a simple but bold style characteristic of early republican colonial minting. The design occupies the majority of the plain field, bordered by a beaded inner circle and a reeded outer rim. No legend appears on this side. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The United Provinces of Nueva Granada existed for barely a decade before Bolívar's consolidation into Gran Colombia rendered the entity — and its coinage — obsolete. This cuartillo was struck at a moment when the republican mints were still improvising, producing fractional silver with inconsistent fineness and rudimentary equipment inherited or captured from the colonial administration. The three KM varieties reflect documented differences across minting locations rather than sequential design changes.
At 0.68 grams, these pieces circulated hard and disappeared fast into worn oblivion. Surviving examples in any meaningful state of preservation are genuinely scarce.
