COLOMBIA. 1847 pattern 16 Pesos. Popayán mint. Bronze. Restrepo-24. SP-64 BN (PCGS).
Lettered edge. Coin turn. Glossy chocolate brown with some mint red remaining around design elements. Smooth and appealing, free of notable problems. Areas of both sides show a wire rim, and rim breaks are seen on the obverse from 3:00 to 6:00, most obviously under 47 of the date. A crisply struck and very pleasing example of this pattern coinage.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
From Christie's (Dallas) sale of the Norweb Collection, November 1985, lot 776.
Estimate: $700.00- $1200.00
