| Reverse description | The reverse of the host coin displays the Colombian national Coat of Arms centrally, encircled by legends detailing the coin's specifications. The surrounding inscription records the weight (G. 12,500), denomination (CINCUENTA CENTAVOS), silver fineness (LEI 0,835), the authorizing body (HABILITADA POR EL GOBIERNO), and the mint city (BOGOTA). A secondary counterstamp on this side features a standing lion within a circular punch, consistent with the Costa Rican Type VIII counterstamp series applied to authorize Colombian silver coinage for domestic circulation. |
