Comment

Colombia's national arms appear on Obverse, but they cancelled minting their coin once the Obverse was agreed for all other countries, so their seal still appears even when no coin for the 2nd series was minted by them.

Interesting fact

The 5 Córdobas (Congo Monkey) coin from Nicaragua, made of Silver (.925) and weighing 27g, features a unique design of a monkey on its obverse side, which is not commonly seen on coins.
