Colombia 10000 pesos Two Worlds Encounter Santa Fe Bogota PR64 PCGS Ag coin 1991

The Colombia 10,000 Pesos 1991 “Encounter of Two Worlds” silver coin is a prestigious commemorative issue struck at the Santa Fe de Bogotá Mint, celebrating the quincentennial of the historic meeting between Europe and the Americas. Preserved in PCGS Proof 64 Deep Cameo, this coin combines refined artistry with strong historical symbolism.

The obverse depicts the historic Casa de la Moneda in Santa Fe de Bogotá, shown in an elegant architectural perspective. Fine details of the colonial façade, windows, rooflines, and paved foreground are rendered in frosted relief against mirrored fields. Above the building appears the inscription “CASA DE MONEDA SANTA FE BOGOTÁ 1620”, referencing the foundation year of the mint. The surrounding legend “ENCUENTRO DE DOS MUNDOS” frames the design, while the dates 1492–1992 are positioned along the lower rim, clearly marking the commemorative theme.

The reverse features the national coat of arms of Colombia at center, crowned by a spread-winged condor. Encircling the central emblem is a ring of multiple historic coats of arms and heraldic shields, each distinct in shape, pattern, and symbolism, forming a continuous decorative border. The legends “REPÚBLICA DE COLOMBIA” and “10000 PESOS 1991” complete the composition.

Struck in silver with strong Deep Cameo contrast, this certified Proof issue is an outstanding example of modern Colombian numismatic art and a compelling addition to any advanced world coin collection.
