Light yellow gold with splashes of orange and pale blue. Well struck and pleasing, centered a bit toward 12:00 on the obverse and 6:00 on the reverse. A tiny lamination is visible left of the date. Some hairlines are seen, including a batch on the portraits cheek, and two short heavier scratches are seen atop the area between the reverse peaks. A sharp and collectible specimen of this scarce type. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From William "Foxy" Steinberg, February 1973.
