COLOMBIA. 1849 16 Pesos. Bogotá mint. Restrepo M213.2. UNC Detail - Cleaned (PCGS).
A high grade example of this very elusive issue. Rich medium yellow gold with lustrous flash on both sides and far above average eye appeal. Some hairlines are seen, but this coin retains a nice natural look. The Eliasberg coin was an NGC AU-58 with significant evidence of handling, and Frank Sedwick lacked this date entirely. A rare date and type, very rarely if ever found this fine.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
From Superior Galleries' sale of December 1993, lot 656.
Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
