Gold Peso coins from Colombia are seen infrequently in the British coin market. Although Colombian Gold coins are not seen as one of the major examples in the world of coin collecting, there are several different denominations and designs to collect. The most frequently seen coin is the Gold cinco peso but larger diez and veinte peso coins are also available albeit at an elevated premium
The Colombia Gold peso is unique insofar that it displays the Gold purity as part of the coin’s design as well as showing the coin’s weight. The coins are typically .9167 fine, matching the British Sovereign. The earlier-dated peso coins were .900 fine. The obverse of the Cuban Peso features Simón Bolívar who was a Venezuelan military leader who fought for the independance of countries that we now know as Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuado, Bolivia and Peru
