Choice light yellow gold with abundant luster and fields full of reflectivity. A few trivial parallel adjustment marks cross the portrait, and a tiny lamination is seen in the right field in front of the profile. The central reverse is a bit soft, but other details are well struck up. A very attractive and well-preserved specimen, off the market for nearly 50 years and the finest example seen by PCGS. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Lester Merkins sale of April 1970, lot 124.
