Colombia 50 centavos Columbus America Discovery KM-187.2 AU58 PCGS Ag coin 1892

The Colombia 50 Centavos 1892 silver coin was issued to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America, honoring Christopher Columbus and one of the most defining events in world history. Struck during the late 19th century, this coin combines national symbolism with refined classical engraving and remains a highly collectible example of Colombian historical coinage.

The obverse presents a left-facing portrait of Christopher Columbus, depicted wearing a soft cap, with flowing hair, a full beard, and strong facial contours. The portrait shows careful attention to texture in the hair, beard, and clothing folds. Surrounding the bust is the legend “REPÚBLICA DE COLOMBIA”, while the date 1892 is engraved clearly below. The beaded rim frames the design and emphasizes the central portrait.

The reverse features a detailed national coat of arms, topped by a spread-winged condor. A ribbon above the shield bears the inscription “LIBERTAD Y ORDEN”. The shield itself displays multiple symbolic elements, including maritime imagery, vegetation, and heraldic divisions. On both sides of the shield are draped flags with visible folds and tassels. The denomination “50 CENTAVOS” appears along the lower field, while the inscription “CINCUENTA CENTAVOS” curves along the upper rim. The silver surface shows natural toning consistent with age.

Struck in silver and certified PCGS AU58, this coin offers strong remaining detail with light circulation wear, making it an excellent historical and numismatic acquisition.
