COLOMBIA. 5 Decimos, 1878. Popayan Mint. PCGS FINE-15.
KM-153.6; Restrepo-295.7. This well-worn piece is actually an unusually wholesome example of this RARE and typically crude issue. The central devices are weakly struck and the rims exhibit numerous imperfections, including a prominent cud die break on the obverse. The legends, in comparison, are nicely struck and legible. An interesting and challenging type, with only two other examples certified by PCGS. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click
