Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 07/31/2011 10:31 pm I have this Colombian 1928 50 centavos lazareto coin which means lazar talking about a leper house where people with leprosy were quarantined (usually on an island). Reference:Special coinage for use in the three government leper colonies of Agua de Dios, Cano de Lord, and Contratacion. The hospitals were closed in the late 1950s and patients were allowed to exchange these special coins for regular currency at any bank. Wear is usual in these coins as they were not population currency and are usually weakly struck. Only 100,000 struck in 1928. Photos: Report this Post to the Staff

mmorgan22 Pillar of the Community United States 570 Posts	Posted 08/01/2011 1:19 pm I collect Colombian coins, but have not gotten into the leper colony coins yet. It is hard to find these coins in really good condition. Your coin is one of the better ones I have seen is this denomination. Report this Post to the Staff
