25.67 grams. Well struck on a broad planchet, this piece shows a wealth of detail on both sides. The surfaces are well preserved for a salvage coin, with only minor granularity and good contrast between devices and the light silver fields. The assayer initials are mostly clear, the date is a little soft on 52 but still legible, and the mintmark is sharp despite some doubling. The reverse is highlighted by an unusually complete crown over a finely rendered shield, along with a visible denomination and a portion of PHILIPPVS. Sharp and desirable with especially strong visual appeal for a treasure coin. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
