Nueva Granada gold "Diez Pesos" 10 Pesos 1857-POPAYAN MS66 NGC, Popayan mint, KM122.2. A stunning example of the type, which was commonly circulated, thereby leaving few survivors in Mint State. In such lofty condition this coin may well be the finest extant. Fully radiant with golden luster, and exhibiting numerous re-cut portions of the reverse legends, the most interesting appearing to be an R beneath the D in "DIEZ" and with clear doubling on the O in "PESOS". A brilliant intersection of beauty and conditional rarity.
Ex. D. Moore Collection
