Does anyone have any data on what kind of plant this is on the reverse of the coin?

I believe it is a poppy seed head.  Which is quite apt for a Colombian coin.

I think it may well be a pomegranate. This was in the arms of Granada. The historical name for the area around Santa Fé de Bogotá is Nuevo Granada.
