COSTA RICA. Costa Rica - Colombia. 50 Centavos, ND (1889). PCGS EF-45; Countermark: AU Details.
KM-134.1. Counterstamped on a Colombia 1881 Bogota 50 Centavos. The tiny Costa Rican countermarks on either side of this piece are well-struck and nicely preserved, allowing full appreciation of their miniature details. The host coin is no less alluring, having been only lightly handled no doubt due to its higher silver purity. The piece is altogether attractive, exhibiting evenly toned surfaces with grayish mauve hues. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
