20 pesos
The 20 Colombian peso coin, minted between 1982 and 1989, is a piece that stands out for its representation of the Quimbaya Poporo on its obverse. This image of the poporo, a gold artifact belonging to the ancient Quimbaya culture, is a symbol of Colombia's pre-Columbian cultural wealth and heritage. The design not only pays homage to the country's ancestral history, but also highlights the importance of indigenous art in the national identity. This coin, with a face value of $20, was widely used in the Colombian economy during the 1980s.
Made of a bronze and aluminum alloy, the coin has a characteristic golden color, and its durability allowed it to circulate for many years. Collectors especially value these coins because of their symbolism and the detail in the depiction of the Poporo Quimbaya, one of the most recognized pieces in the Gold Museum of Bogota. Although their face value was 20 pesos, today their value may be higher in the numismatic market, depending on their state of conservation and the demand among collectors interested in historical pieces from Colombia .
