Frosty and lustrous light yellow gold with a bold strike and clear overdate. The scrape across the portraits cheek is notable, but the parallel vertical lines on the portrait are mint-made adjustment marks. Some natural low spots or planchet chips are seen on the neck, shoulder, and behind the head. A very high grade piece with a high level of aesthetic appeal. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Mike Dunigan, August 1983.
