Flashy and lustrous, with subtle violet, blue, and gold tones on light to medium gray surfaces. A very attractive piece, displaying a local portrait of Carlos III on the obverse and a sunrise over the cityscape on the reverse. Only minor hairlines and scuffs are seen, none serious, along with a few long lintmarks on both sides that suggest these dies were carefully polished before striking. A particularly handsome example. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
