This copper-nickel five pesos "papel moneda" was struck for [[Colombia]] 1907-16. These coins were issued to retire paper money printed during the civil war of 1899-1903, hence the "p/m" marked on the reverse. (The chaos of that civil war enabled the United States to engineer Panamanian independence.) They later circulated equal to the copper-nickel five centavos of 1918-50 (KM 199). They are today very scarce in nice condition.

''Recorded mintage:'' 4,000,000.

''Specification:'' 4 g, copper-nickel.
