COLOMBIA. 1873 pattern 5 Pesos. Medellín mint. Silver. Restrepo-58. SP-63 (PCGS).
Reeded edge. Medal turn. Struck from unsigned dies. These dies were later retooled for use on the rare 1885/74 (actually over 73) 5 Pesos issue. The surfaces exhibit deep gray toning with highlights of blue and gold around the impeccably detailed design elements. The fields are subtly reflective, showing some unobtrusive obverse hairlines but no contact marks. A very attractive specimen of this significant rarity.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
