COLOMBIA. 1867 "pattern" 10 Pesos. Medellín mint. Copper. Restrepo-unlisted. AU-58 (NGC).
Plain edge. An enigmatic piece, struck from dies different from the exact dies of the 1867 Medellín 10 Pesos and stylistically distinct as well. Smooth mahogany brown with some violet tones where patina has thinned on the high points. A tiny rim bruise is noted over T of ESTADOS, another over N of UNIDOS. Quite attractive. Unlisted by Restrepo.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
