The Republic of Colombia referenced on this coin is not the modern nation but the short-lived Gran Colombia, which had already dissolved by 1831 — meaning these pieces were struck under the successor state of New Granada while still bearing transitional republican nomenclature. Bogotá's mint output during these years was erratic, constrained by chronic silver shortages and political instability following Bolívar's death in 1830.
Hernández distinguishes three subtypes across the 1834–1836 run, primarily by assayer initial combinations at the Bogotá mint.
