COLOMBIA. 1856 10 Pesos. Popayán mint. Restrepo M208.2. MS-62 (PCGS).
Frosty and highly lustrous light yellow gold. The obverse fields show extensive raised die polish marks, and the reverse shows widespread rust over its left side, especially atop the eagle. The grade of this coin seems to be penalized for the crudity of its dies, as no notable problems are seen under extended scrutiny. Quite rare. A gem would not look appreciably different from this example.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
