Welcome to this new series of blog posts and videos. I Bank notes have elegant and artistic designs which are timeless. This series of posts will showcase my personal collection & my favorite ones. All images are my own & scanned from my 'old bills' collection.

I hope you liked the first blog post about Banknote art: Imperial Russia 500 Rubles 1912. Today, for the second post, I bring you a bank note from Colombia.

Banknote Art: Colombia 20 Pesos Oro 1975

In the image: Francisco José de Caldas, Colombian lawyer, military engineer, self-taught naturalist, mathematician, geographer and inventor (he created the first hypsometer)

Notice the nice design of animals in the globe and the zodiac signs in the outer ring. He is very well dressed as well

Notice the very nice decoration, I think they are representing Coffee plants. Please correct me if I am wrong about the plant.

The back of the bill if beautiful filled with Pre-Columbian art and crafts.

These pieces in real life would be in a museum. Very nice drawings.
