| Additional information |
Colombia's 1886 constitution — the one this coin commemorates — lasted 105 years, making it one of the longest-lived foundational charters in Latin American history. It was drafted under Rafael Núñez and imposed a heavily centralized government, stripping the federal states of autonomy they had held since 1863. By the time this coin entered circulation, that constitution was already under intense pressure; it would be replaced entirely in 1991, just two years after the final year of this issue's production.
