Restrepo-455.7 / What does this mean?

I'm looking at a Columbian 5 Peso coin in a PCGS holder and on the label it reads "Restrepo-455.7" - I googled Restrepo and in English it means "Backward Movement" or "Setback". So what exactly does this mean concerning the coin?

Whether you think you can or, think you can't, you're right.

    One of those unfortunate surnames.

    "Hi, I'm George Setback, here to help move you forward."

    Raper, Coward and Titsworth are other examples of unfortunate surnames that I came across on the Google machine.
