This site is a work in progress, and I’m refreshing the images from my collection so they look their best. If you don’t find the piece you came for just yet, thanks for your patience — I’m glad you’re here.

Bimetallic coin

Bimetálica

A coin struck with a core and a ring of different metals — for example nickel-silver and brass — so the colour contrast and the two-piece fit deter counterfeiting. In Colombia the 1993 500-peso piece (Law 31) is the first circulating bimetallic.
