12.77 grams. Struck on a very broad planchet, well centered on the reverse, but far off center on the obverse, leaving a substantial unstruck area outside the die edge at the top and left.

A natural planchet fissure or crudity is seen at the lower right periphery of the obverse, beneath the right pillar.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
