Nueva Granada gold 10 Pesos 1857-POPAYAN MS66 NGC, Popayan mint, KM116.2, Fr-86. An exemplary jewel offering of this conditionally challenging issue, ranked as the sole-finest example certified by NGC to date out of a total of only four examples of the "Peso" variety. Indeed, the offering leaves virtually nothing to be desired, featuring bold striking detail that yields sharply outlined devices, and surfaces embellished by velveteen golden luster that appears consistently sleek and nearly free of handling. An altogether top-quality specimen, and one seemingly destined for a high-end cabinet of Latin American conditional rarities.
