Comment
Proposed for the state of Cundinamarca, but never adopted.Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Centavos coin from the State of Cundinamarca (Colombian states) made of Copper in 1890 is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and economic change in Colombia. The country was transitioning from a civil war to a period of relative peace, and the government was taking steps to modernize its economy and infrastructure. The coin's design, which features a liberty cap and a condor, symbolizes the country's desire for freedom and independence. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin reflects the country's rich natural resources and its efforts to develop its mining industry.
