COLOMBIA. 1870 20 Pesos. Popayán mint. Restrepo M339.6. MS-61 (PCGS).
An exceptional specimen with the Hammel "look," deep orange toning highlighting rich yellow gold surfaces. Impressively lustrous, well struck for the issue, and free of any serious flaws. The repunching visible under magnification, including all of LIBERTAD, is enjoyable to study. Some light hairlines are seen, principally on the obverse. A very desirable example, fresh to the market after 35 years.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
