COLOMBIA. 1873 pattern 20 Pesos. Medellín mint. Silver. Restrepo-80var. SP-62 (PCGS).
Plain edge. Signed L.C. Wyon under the bust for English engraver Leonard Charles Wyon. Misattributed as Restrepo-74 by PCGS, this is unlisted by Restrepo in this composition, though he included listings in gold (Restrepo-80) and copper (Restrepo-82). Lovely blue-gray toning over highly reflective fields. The dies are beautifully engraved, here seen in fully realized relief and exacting sharpness. Some trivial hairlines, but beautiful and extremely rare if not unique.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $3000.00- $5000.00
