COLOMBIA. 1858 pattern 20 Pesos. Bogotá (i.e. Royal Mint, London?) mint. Bronzed copper. Restrepo-104. SP-63 BN (PCGS).
Plain edge. Signed L.C.W. under the bust for English engraver Leonard Charles Wyon. Nicely bronzed with subtle golden and violet overtones. Highly detailed and very attractive, a few trivial hairlines, minor spot on the nose. A very pretty example of this elusive pattern from New Granada.
