Coin Pièce Colombia pesos Bi-metallic 2023 Bogota

This complete series brings together five coins issued by Colombia in 2023, under the authority of the monetary institute of Bogotá. These coins are denominated in Colombian pesos and form a coherent set dedicated to the representation of the fauna and flora of Colombian territory, a country recognised for one of the greatest biodiversities in the world.

Contains: 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 Pesos.

Each coin in this series is made of bimetal, a minting technique combining two distinct alloys within a single coin. This manufacturing process is generally characterised by the presence of an outer ring and a central core of different metallic compositions, offering an immediately identifiable visual contrast and providing each piece with durability and wear resistance that are particularly valued for circulation coins.

The designs adorning these coins are part of an approach to promote Colombia's natural heritage. Colombia, crossed by the Andes mountain range and bordered by two oceans, is home to an exceptionally rich fauna and flora, frequently celebrated on the country's numismatic issues. The species and plants depicted on these five coins thus illustrate the diversity of Colombian ecosystems, ranging from tropical regions to high-altitude zones.

The 2023 issue reflects the continuity of Colombian monetary policy of highlighting national natural wealth through official numismatic production. The complete series, comprising five distinct specimens, allows for a comprehensive understanding of the iconographic programme chosen for this issue, with each coin contributing a complementary element to the whole.
