Description and history
500 Colombian peso coin
The 500 Colombian peso coin was issued by the Banco de la República de Colombia between 2012 and 2023. This denomination was part of the Colombian numismatic series coin family. Its obverse features the national coat of arms of Colombia, while the reverse shows the image of a glass frog (Anura Centrolenidae). The coin is made of a cupro-nickel alloy and has a diameter of 26.5 millimeters.
The glass frog, belonging to the family Anura Centrolenidae, is known for its translucent skin that allows its internal organs to be observed, hence its common name. These frogs are found mainly in the tropical regions of Central and South America, including Colombia. They are small in size and have a bright green color that allows them to camouflage among foliage. The glass frog is an important indicator of ecosystem health, as its presence reflects a clean and well-preserved environment. The inclusion of this species on the 500 Colombian peso coin highlights the country's rich biodiversity and the importance of its conservation.
