History reference:
The Colombian Peso is the official currency of the Republic of Colombia. The peso became the Colombian coin in 1810. In 1837, the peso began to replace the real. Then for one peso they gave 8 reais. ...In 1847, Colombia revised the value of the peso, which began to be valued at 10 reais. In 1853, the real was renamed desimo, which means "tenth" in Spanish. In 1903, the Central Bank of Colombia set a fixed rate on the British pound sterling, according to which 5 pesos were equal to 1 pound. In 1931, Great Britain abandoned the gold standard, in the same year the Colombian pesos also moved away from the gold-currency equivalent standard. Later, in different periods of the existence of the state, the peso experienced several devaluations caused by economic crises in the country.
