Has anyone ever seen a 1920 issue 20 centavo (835 silver) coin from Colombia? I have a listing for it and cannot seem to find it anywhere. Anyone have one, or even a picture. Thanks

 There are four coins in listing - the 1920 'narrow date' 20 Centavos coin is lower left.
Or here I cropped (and rotated) it out of their pictures ...

Thanks ZacUK! I appreciate you finding that listing. I'm a little embarrassed, as I was actually wanting to ask about a 1902, not a 1920 Colombia 20 Centavos coin. Apparently, it was the same weight as the 50 Centavos - both were made in the U.S. for Colombia - but it had a different silver content - .835 instead of .900. They were listed in the minting reports as 50 Centavos. Can't seem to find a listing. I'll keep looking.
Again, thanks for the info.

Good morning waltbert,

 

Almost ten years later…

 

I do not know coins of 20 Centavos in silver for 1902.

 

The only 20 Centavos for 1902 is the “Coscojas” from Santander in brass.

 

I checked Restrepo, Hernandez and Krause catalogs.

 

The last was km#189 in 1897 and appear km#197 in 1911.

 

Regards.

Thanks for the input. I have also not found any solid evidence, although there is a list of Foreign Coins from Mint Error News - link below - which mentions one misidentified as a 50 centavo. Interesting.
