Colombia 20 centavos Regular Coinage Santander KM-208 MS64 PCGS silver coin 1945

The Colombia 20 Centavos 1945 coin from the Regular Coinage series is a classic mid-20th century issue honoring one of the most influential figures in Colombian history, Francisco de Paula Santander. Struck during a period of national consolidation, this silver coin reflects both political heritage and refined numismatic design.

The obverse features a right-facing portrait of Santander, rendered in realistic detail with clearly defined facial features, hair texture, and profile contours. The legend “REPÚBLICA DE COLOMBIA” curves along the rim, while the date 1945 is positioned below the bust. The smooth background highlights the portrait, and the raised rim frames the composition cleanly.

The reverse displays the denomination “20 CENTAVOS” prominently at center, with the numeral “20” above the value inscription. Surrounding the central text is a continuous laurel wreath, composed of stylized leaves tied at the bottom, symbolizing honor and civic virtue. Below the denomination appears a small “B” mint mark, while the outer rim remains plain and balanced.

Struck in silver and certified MS64 by PCGS, this example shows strong mint luster, sharp details, and minimal marks for the grade. A well-preserved and historically meaningful coin, ideal for collectors of Colombian silver and classic world coinage.
