COLOMBIA. 1869 20 Pesos. Popayán mint. Restrepo M339.4. MS-61 (PCGS).
Hans Schulman called this "pure yellow gold" in 1969, and it is that, highlighted with pale green and abundant luster. Some minor marks, but nothing serious. Were the same marks on a coin with an even texture, and not the crude surface endemic to these 20 Pesos, this piece might be graded two points higher. A lovely specimen.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
