Splashes of coppery toning across the obverse, more notable and widespread on the reverse, add a look of originality to deeply lustrous and very attractive surfaces. Good cartwheel is present on both sides, some reflectivity apparent on the reverse, extremely well struck throughout. Some trivial laminations are seen along the rim above the space between REPUBLICA and DEL on the reverse, but no significant post striking flaws are seen, just some subtle hairlines and a single thin vertical scratch near the left peak. An especially handsome specimen of this date, the only date among this design type absent from the Eliasberg Collection, which contained neither the large planchet variety (as here) nor the small planchet variety seen in the following lot. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Stacks 1976 American Numismatic Association sale, August 1976, lot 2123.
