Comment

Note: Erratically punched final two digits of the date are common on these issues, especially 1935-1948. A very faint “17” is often observable beneath the final two digits on many dates of this type.

Interesting fact

The 1 Centavo coin from Colombia, minted between 1918 and 1948, features a unique design element - a liberty cap on the obverse side, which symbolizes freedom and independence.
