| Obverse description | The Colombian national arms are displayed at center, featuring the condor with spread wings atop the shield, flanked by flags and surmounted by a Phrygian cap. Surrounding the central arms, arranged in a ring around the perimeter of the field, are twelve individual shield and coin devices representing the heraldic emblems of various Latin American nations and historical coinage types commemorating the encounter of two worlds. The curved legend REPUBLICA DE COLOMBIA arcs above, while the denomination 10000 PESOS and the date 1991 appear below the central arms along the lower arc. |

| Additional information |
This issue commemorates the 1991 Colombian Constitutional Assembly, which replaced the country's 1886 constitution — one of the longest-lived in Latin American history — following years of narco-violence, guerrilla conflict, and political assassinations that had rendered the old legal framework functionally inadequate. The new constitution, promulgated on July 4, 1991, recognized Colombia as a plurinational state and abolished extradition, a concession widely attributed to pressure from the Medellín cartel.
The Bogotá mint attribution references the historic Casa de Moneda on Calle 11, operational since 1621.
