<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CasualAg$, post: 3559050, member: 99311&quot;][USER=92556]@Bert Gedin[/USER], See above for three posts by Seba79. The first has a picture of a large book all about Colombian paper money. The second identifies the waterfall to the left of the Condor. The third identifies the mountain to the Condor’s right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now all I need do is learn to speak Spanish and buy that book. Then I can do my own research... </p><p><br /></p><p>I have become interested in mountains on banknotes because of an interest in Vulcanism (not the Star Trek type). So my numismatics overlapped with a fascination with volcanoes when I saw Mt. Fuji on a Japanese banknote. I was paging through a box of world money at a local coin show, last Sunday, when I came upon the Colombian 1972 Un Peso Oro. </p><p><br /></p><p>One look at that mountain and I “knew” it was volcanic, I bought it. I looked for detailed descriptions of the currency on the internet, then tried to match the mountain on the bill with photographs, also on the internet. The number of possibilities for that image’s model expanded greatly as I tried to identify it. At that point I realized I needed experienced help so I posted here. Seba79 gifted us with his time, his expertise, and the answer and now that bill is in the album with my slowly growing collection of money with volcano images.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn’t post a pic with my request because I was hoping someone with an educated interest would not need a badly photographed example of the money to help. I got lucky.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
