| Reverse description | A prominent truncated bust of a Native American figure, facing left, wearing a feathered headdress with long flowing hair, occupies the central field in bold relief. This allegorical effigy represents Liberty or the personification of the Americas, a hallmark of early Colombian republican coinage. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE COLOMBIA is distributed around the upper and lateral periphery. The date, here 1821, appears in the lower exergual area flanked by dots. The engraving style is characteristic of the Bogotá Mint's early republican period. |
