Colombia 50 centavos Republic Coinage Bolivar KM-274 MS64 PCGS silver coin 1934

The Colombia 50 Centavos silver coin of 1934 represents a classic example of Republican-era coinage, honoring one of the most important figures in Latin American history — Simón Bolívar. Issued by the Republic of Colombia, this denomination reflects national identity, political heritage, and refined medallic art of the early 20th century.

The obverse features a right-facing portrait of Simón Bolívar with finely engraved hair, facial contours, and a dignified expression. Around the portrait runs the inscription “REPUBLICA DE COLOMBIA,” while the date “1934” is clearly positioned below. A beaded border frames the design, enhancing its formal appearance and emphasizing the central portrait.

The reverse displays the national coat of arms of Colombia, topped by a majestic condor with wings fully spread. Below the condor rests a shield divided into fields with symbolic elements, flanked by draped flags on both sides. A ribbon with the motto “LIBERTAD Y ORDEN” is visible above the shield. Surrounding inscriptions read “CINCUENTA CENTAVOS” and “G.12.500 LEY 0.900,” with the denomination prominently shown. The entire reverse is enclosed by a detailed beaded rim.

Struck in silver and preserved in Mint State condition, this coin is certified by PCGS with a grade of MS64. It belongs to the regular Republic Coinage series and is cataloged as KM-274. A strong historical theme, iconic national symbolism, and solid preservation make this piece a desirable addition to any world coin collection.
