COLOMBIA. 5 Decimos, 1870. Popayan Mint. PCGS FINE-15.
KM-153.6 (this coin illustrated); Restrepo-295.2. A VERY RARE type, with only two others certified by PCGS. This example, plated in Krause-Mishler, is rather well-produced for the issue. While the central devices are weakly struck as is typical, the legends are sharp and readable and the rims are comparatively problem-free. A charming piece with ashy-gray patina.
