50,000 Peso Banknote: Five Identifying Features
On 19 August 2016, Banco de la República started circulating the new 50 thousand peso banknote, the third of the new family of banknotes. This banknote will circulate simultaneously with the current ones. The obverse shows the image of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the Nobel Laureate in Literature (complying with Article 5 of Act 1741 of 2014 by the Congress of Colombia), together with a hummingbird feeding from a flower and the burgao snail. The reverse highlights the terraces of the Lost City and the images of two indigenous people and houses of the Tayrona culture.
