| Additional information |
Colombia's Banco de la República transitioned this denomination from cupro-nickel to nickel clad steel in 1969, a cost-driven shift that coincided with rising global nickel prices putting pressure on circulating coinage across Latin America. The "legend divided before 'DE'" distinction separates this from an earlier die arrangement — a minor positional difference in the inscribed text that nonetheless creates a catalogable variety under KM#237.
