COLOMBIA. 1846-UR 16 Pesos. Popayán mint. Restrepo M212.27. MS-61 (PCGS).
The elusive final date of this type for Popayán, listed as "rare" in Restrepo and RRRR by Frank Sedwick, who never acquired one for his own collection. This was described as "unpublished" when it was last offered at auction in 1990. Attractive light yellow gold with some coppery toning, highly lustrous with some reflective texture at the peripheries. Scattered light marks, but well struck and appealing for the grade. This date was missing from Norweb and most other advanced collections.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
