COLOMBIA. 1841-RU 16 Pesos. Popayán mint. Restrepo M212.10. AU-53 (PCGS).
One of the rarest dates in the series, called RRRR by Sedwick. Sedwick's personal coin, graded MS-62 (NGC), brought $6,325 in 2011. This one is not quite as high grade but retains generous luster on its nice light yellow gold surfaces. Well struck and choice for the grade.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
From Ponterio and Associates, June 1990. Earlier, from Sotheby's (Geneva) sale of Gold Coins of the Hispanic World, May 1990, lot 168.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2500.00
