1000 Pesos coin Colombia (1996 to 1998)

1000 Colombian Pesos (Issued 1996 to 1998)

The thousand pesos coin issued between 1996 and 1998 was a short-lived bimetallic piece that later fell out of use. Combining two metals with a golden overall tone, it is a substantial coin with a plain edge, and it drew its design from Colombia’s pre-Columbian goldworking heritage.

On the obverse, the value side, the large numeral “1000” and the word “PESOS” sit within a beaded circle, with the legend “REPÚBLICA DE COLOMBIA” around the rim and the date “1996” at the foot.

On the reverse is a pre-Columbian gold ornament — a semicircular ceremonial pectoral of indigenous craftsmanship, decorated with fine geometric and openwork detail — reflecting the ancient goldwork held in Colombia’s Gold Museum.
