Warm yellow gold with superb luster and magnificent visual appeal. A copper spot is noted between OD of PODER, and deeper hints of orange-yellow and pale green are seen on both sides. The centering is ideal and the strike is very good, just a little soft on the lowest portion of the hair behind the portrait and on the right peak on the reverse. A curly lintmark is noted above 21 on the lower obverse, as struck, and a die crack descends through EL of DEL atop the reverse. An especially choice example, finer than the Eliasberg specimen. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Stacks 1976 American Numismatic Association sale, August 1976, lot 2125.
