COLOMBIA. 1885/74 5 Pesos. Medellín mint. Restrepo M330.1 EF Detail - Filed Rims (PCGS).
Frosty light yellow gold with excellent eye appeal and some hints of orange toning. The merest abrasion on the edge (not the rim) is seen above OS of PESOS; perhaps others are hidden in the encapsulation, but this coin hardly appears damaged. Some light hairlines are present, mostly on the obverse, but this is a very well preserved example of this rarity. The obverse die is heavily cracked, and thin cracks connect many peripheral details on the reverse as well. A historically important rarity, the last of the 5 Pesos issues and the only one coined in .666 fine gold.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
