背面描述	The reverse is the mirror image of the obverse, produced by the coin being struck through so that the design is impressed in incuse and reversed. The legends SANTANDER and 1902 appear in retrograde around the central numeral '50', all elements being the incuse counterpart of the obverse relief. This characteristic is typical of emergency issues where a single die was punched through a brass blank.

附加信息	The Province of Santander issued emergency brass coinage during the Thousand Days' War (1899–1902), one of the most destructive civil conflicts in Colombian history, which killed an estimated 100,000 people and left the national monetary system in near-total collapse. Regional authorities across Colombia resorted to locally produced fractional pieces when central government supply lines failed entirely. Santander's issues are among the more documented of these provincial emissions, catalogued by Hernández with enough surviving specimens to establish the type — but circulating quantities were almost certainly small.
