Bogota, Colombia, 1/4 real, 1852, caduceus type, very rare, NGC XF 45. Restrepo-176.1; KM-113. Restrepo says three to four known (but at least three have been seen on the market over the past decade), very rare type with caducei flanking the denomination, a design that continued into the Granadine Confederation issues. Bold details with ample retained luster covered with golden toning in the fields, rims a bit weak (more due to striking than actual wear). NGC #4831069-003.
