| Reverse lettering | 5 MIL PESOS MELANCOLÍA `De todo lo velado, tenue, lejana y misteriosa surge vaga melancolía que del ideal al cielo nos conduce. He mirado reflejos de ese cielo en la brillante lumbre con que ahuyenta las sombras, la mirada de sus ojos azules. Leve cadena de oro que una alma a otra alma con sus hilos une oculta simpatía, que en lo profundo de lo ignoto bulle, y que en las realidades de la vida se pierde y se consume cual se pierde una gota de rocío sobre las yerbas que el sepulcro cubren.` JOSÉ ASUNCIÓN SILVA PARAMOS DE COLOMBIA FUENTES DE AGUA ABEJORRO Bombus sp. CINCO MIL PESOS (Translation: 5 thousand Pesos Melancholy `Of all that is veiled, faint, distant and mysterious arises vague melancholy that leads us from the ideal to heaven. I have looked at reflections of that sky in the bright fire with which he chases away the shadows, the gaze of his blue eyes. Slight gold chain that one soul to another soul with its threads unites hidden sympathy, that in the depths of the unknown bustles, and that in the realities of life is lost and consumed like a drop of dew lost on the herbs that the tomb covers.` José Asunción Silva Moors of Colombia Water Sources Bumblebee Bombus sp. Five thousand Pesos) |
