| Obverse description | The numeral '5' in large relief dominates the center of the coin, flanked symmetrically by two upward-curving wheat stalks forming a wreath-like frame. Below the numeral, the word 'PESOS' is inscribed in the field, with the mint mark 'B' appearing just beneath. The date '1968' is placed in the lower exergue area. The circular legend 'REPUBLICA DE COLOMBIA' runs along the upper periphery, bordered by a decorative beaded inner ring. |
