1 Peso coin Colombia

Colombia 1 Peso (Issued 1978)

The 1 peso was a common circulating coin of Colombia during the 1970s, when the peso served as the country’s principal unit of currency. The 1978 issue was struck in a copper-nickel alloy, giving it a bright silvery appearance and a firm, durable form suited to constant handling. It passed through everyday trade across Colombia before being retired as inflation reshaped the coinage. The coin has a reeded edge.

On the obverse, the coin shows a bust of the independence leader Simón Bolívar, shown in military uniform, with the legend “REPUBLICA DE COLOMBIA” curving around the edge and the date “1978” at the foot.

On the reverse, a large numeral “1” stands above the word “PESO”, flanked on each side by an ear of grain, with fine radiating lines arching across the upper field. The composition is simple and boldly legible.
