The coin's story

Obverse: Francisco de Paula Santander's bust turned right, with the country's name in legend curved on the sides and up, near the edge, and the date at the bottom. NOTE (for KM#208.2): Almost all coins from 1946 to 1951 showed a new strike of the date over 1945. The coins without any 1945 or a very marked 1945 are worth more for specialists. There are variations.
