Operational and Services External Circular DEP-499, Subject 16: 100 Peso Metallic Coin
The Department of Issuance and Programming of the Bank of the Republic issued Circular DEP-499 to update the regulatory specifications for the 100 peso metallic coin, replacing previous directives due to an internal area change. The document details the historical evolution of the coin's design, composition, and distribution from its 1992 introduction through the 2012 'New Family' redesign featuring the Frailejón plant. It formally announces the circulation of the 2026 mint year coins, which maintain the identical design and characteristics of the 2025 issue.
