@BillSnyder2000 - I thought perhaps you might be referring to something other than a Colombian coin - hence the question mark and not a period. But Is this coin? http://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins?main_coin=12112 Thanks.
Yes, LaCointessa. That is one of the three (I think) 20th century types. Bill (Cited from:https://www.cointalk.com/threads/colombia.287258/page-3)

Hello and hope all is well with both of you!! Panzerman, what is that on the reverse of your gold Colombian coin? Rather looks like two cornucopias? or some wreath head gear? Thanks in advance. I would love to have a collection of Colombian coins. Thank you both for sharing. LaC
Thank you! The reverse shows crossed cornucopias/ bow/ quiver of arrows. Obverse: Liberty Head John PS: I have 13 AV Colombia coins in my collection....
