| Obverse description | A Phrygian liberty cap, inscribed with the word LIBERTAD, is depicted centrally within a wreath of laurel branches tied at the base, symbolizing republican liberty. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE COLOMBIA arcs along the upper periphery, while the mint year appears in the lower field below the wreath. A fine beaded border frames the entire design. The composition is rendered in a clean, classical style characteristic of Colombian coinage of the mid-twentieth century. |
