| Obverse description | Central field displays the official emblem of the VI Pan American Games, consisting of a stylized cross motif inscribed within a circular ring, evoking both pre-Columbian geometric design and the international symbol of the games. The legend REPUBLICA DE COLOMBIA arcs along the upper periphery, while VI JUEGOS PANAMERICANOS curves within the upper interior of the ring. The host city name CALI appears at the base of the central device, and the date 1971 is prominently displayed in the lower field. The design is rendered on a deeply mirrored proof field, characteristic of the Casa de Moneda de Bogotá's commemorative issues. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts Bochica, the supreme deity of the Muisca people, rendered as a bearded, long-haired elder draped in flowing robes, shown in three-quarter view interacting with a smaller supplicant figure raising both hands before him. The name BOCHICA appears as a legend beneath the central scene within an inner circle. Surrounding the inner circle, a broad outer border contains fourteen incuse panels each depicting a different athletic discipline represented at the Pan American Games, including cycling, swimming, football, fencing, weightlifting, and others. The denomination PESOS 300 PESOS is inscribed along the lower arc of the outer border, with the fineness LEY 900 and mintmark B visible within the inner field to the right. |
