| Reverse description | A hummingbird in flight is depicted to the left of center, its long bill extended toward a cluster of tropical flowers — likely orchids — rising from the lower right of the field, rendered in naturalistic relief. The denomination numeral 750 appears in large bold figures at the lower center of the field, with the word PESOS inscribed beneath it. To the right of the numeral, the fineness and weight specifications G.35.00 and LEY 0.925 are inscribed vertically in small characters. The overall composition is clean and uncluttered, with a wide flat rim framing the design. |

| Additional information |
Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera served as president of Colombia four separate times between 1845 and 1867 — a record unmatched in Colombian history — and led the Liberal forces that defeated the Conservative government in the 1860 civil war, subsequently abolishing the concordat with the Vatican and expelling the Jesuits. This commemorative was issued under the numismatic program that Colombia ran through the late 1970s, producing large-format silver pieces tied to national historical figures for collector export rather than domestic circulation.
