Commentary


Ce type a été fabriqué de 1837 à 1849 pour l'atelier de Bogota et de 1837 à 1846 pour l'atelier de Popayan. La pièce de 16 pesos correspond à l'ancienne dénomination de huit escudos où l'escudo vaut deux pesos. La pièce est légèrement différente tant au niveau du poids que du titre.

Historical background


COLOMBIA - REPUBLIC OF NEW GRANADA

(1837-1859)

The uprising in Colombia occurred in 1810, but the Spanish reaction was brutal and the country did not obtain its independence until nine years later thanks to the victory of Boyaca, on August 7, 1819, won by Bolivar. The Congress of Angostura in December 1819 saw the creation of Greater Colombia which included Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Panama. This set did not survive Bolivar (1783-1830). Venezuela left the Confederation in 1829, Ecuador in 1830, Panama in 1903.
