An absolutely extraordinary specimen, fully lustrous and prooflike on both sides and toned in magnificent deep yellow and coppery orange. Exceptionally well struck and ideally centered on both sides. Only trivial marks and scattered hairlines are seen. About as nice a survivor of this type as could be hoped for, finer than the Eliasberg specimen and most others to hit the market since this piece last sold in 1982. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Stacks sale of the Mortimer Hammel Collection, September 1982, lot 828.
