COLOMBIA. 1873 pattern 20 Pesos. Medellín mint. Gold. Restrepo-80. SP-58 (PCGS).
Plain edge. Signed L.C. Wyon under the bust for English engraver Leonard Charles Wyon. Rich yellow gold with orange toning at the peripheries over deeply reflective fields. Though this piece appears to have seen some handling or even use as a circulating medium, it was clearly specially struck, with deeply mirrored fields, a plain edge, and dies by a master of England's Wyon family. Plated in Restrepo, this appears to be the only known specimen.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
