Richly toned, highly lustrous, fully struck, and choice for the grade. Aside from a well-hidden batch of scratches atop the assayer mark, this piece is utterly problem free. This variety uses the P mintmark; others of the 1814 to 1816 era, as well as 1820, use a Pn mintmark for Popayán. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Kurt Spanier, March 1981.
