Proposed for the state of Bolivar, but never adopted.

Interesting fact

The Pattern 2 Centavos coin from the State of Bolívar (Colombian states) made of Copper in 1890 is interesting because it features a unique design that was never adopted as the official currency of Colombia. Instead, it was used as a pattern coin, which was a trial design that was not released into circulation. This coin is now a rare collector's item, and its value lies in its historical significance and rarity.
