| Obverse description | Draped bust of Liberty facing left, rendered with flowing, elaborately curled hair cascading to the shoulder, occupying the central field. The circumferential legend ESTADOS UNIDOS DE COLOMBIA arcs across the upper portion of the coin, while the date 1874 appears below the bust flanked by a series of small stars arranged along the lower field. The design is framed by a beaded border running the full circumference of the coin. The overall style reflects the neoclassical Liberty portraiture typical of mid-nineteenth-century Colombian coinage. |
