COLOMBIA. 1858 pattern 20 Pesos. Bogotá (i.e. Royal Mint, London?) mint. Silver. Restrepo-102. UNC Detail - Surface Plated (PCGS).
Plain edge. Signed L.C.W. under the bust for English engraver Leonard Charles Wyon. Faint golden toning across profoundly reflective surfaces. This does not appear plated to us (such a production technique would have been highly unusual for a silver piece at Wyon's mint, though bronzing was typical for copper strikes), instead looking just lightly polished. A bit bright, some swirling hairlines are visible.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
