This article shows, from an economic history perspective, the changes in the Colombian monetary policy brought about by "La Regeneración" (conservative regime) starting in 1880. The new political model replaced the decentralization policies, pursued by Radicals in the previous decades, with a very centralized economic policy model, marked by profound irregularities, that led to a major civil war (Guerra de los Mil Dias).

This article analyses the development of the Colombian monetary and banking system between 1850 and 1880. The political debate and the power struggle at the national level determined the economic model of this period. Beyond its technical viability, economic decisions were influenced by the concept of Nation that each group wanted to impose. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
