Colombia 200–5000 Pesos Lot of 109 Notes Crisp UNC Mixed Bundle Inflation Era

Colombia 200–5000 Pesos Lot of 109 Notes Crisp UNC Mixed Bundle Inflation Era

Offered here is a large group of 109 Colombian banknotes, all reported as crisp uncirculated, spanning several denominations and designs from the late “pesos oro” era into the modern peso issues of the late 20th century.

The lot in the photos is the exact group you will receive. Notes are fanned out so you can see the fronts and a sample reverse of each type.

What’s in the lot

The group combines several popular Colombian types and denominations, including (but not limited to):

• 200 Pesos Oro – classic green notes with Simón Bolívar at right and a church scene, an iconic design of the 1970s–80s “pesos oro” period.

• 1,000 Pesos – orange notes from the high-inflation era, with portraits of national leaders and a dense crowd scene on the reverse.

• 2,000 Pesos / 2,000 Pesos Oro – various designs featuring key independence figures and vignettes of Colombian history and industry.

• 5,000 Pesos – later higher-value notes including the beautiful José Asunción Silva design with stylized forest and moonlit scene.

Altogether you get 109 pieces, mostly in consecutive or near-consecutive runs, ideal for collectors who enjoy having multiples of the same design.

(Exact counts by denomination are as shown in the photos; this is a mixed lot rather than a “complete type set.”)

Historical significance

These notes reflect Colombia’s transition from the older “pesos oro” wording into higher-face-value pesos as the country worked through periods of elevated inflation in the 1980s and 1990s.

• Lower denominations such as 200 Pesos Oro once had real spending power, but were gradually replaced as prices rose.

• Higher values like 5,000 Pesos and 2,000 Pesos illustrate how face values had to climb to keep up with the cost of everyday transactions.

For a world-currency collection, this group shows how a single national currency evolves in both design and denomination over just a few decades.

Design highlights

Across the 109 notes you will see:

• Portraits of important figures such as Simón Bolívar, José Asunción Silva, and other statesmen, poets, and reformers.

• Agricultural vignettes – coffee harvest scenes, rural landscapes, and symbols of Colombia’s key export crops.

• Modern graphic designs with security threads, fine guilloche, and color-shifting patterns on the later 5,000-peso issues.

• A variety of fonts, seals, and signatures from the Banco de la República, making the group a miniature catalog of Colombian paper money styles.

Many of these designs are now demonetized and no longer in circulation, existing mainly as collectibles and teaching tools.

Catalog context

While this is a mixed lot, many of the notes correspond to well-known standard references such as the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money and The Banknote Book and fall in ranges including:

• 200 Pesos Oro – typically catalogued around Pick 417 / 419

• 5,000 Pesos Oro and later 5,000 Pesos – catalogued in the Pick 434–452 range

Collectors using SCWPM or TBB will be able to match specific signatures and dates from the serials shown.
