An exceptionally rare issue, missing from the Norweb and Frank Sedwick collections. Frank Sedwicks book <em>The Gold Coinage of Gran Colombia</em> called this issue RRRR and left it unpriced. This overdate is unmistakably bold, as is the RU/B overassayer on the reverse. Evenly worn medium yellow gold with contrasting toning around legends and devices. A tiny rim nick is seen under the date. The reverse is cracked from right of 12:00 between OS of PESOS. Very nice for the grade and highly elusive in any state of preservation. This piece and the 1841-RU in this collection came from the same group lot in a well-known 1990 Geneva sale. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Ponterio and Associates, June 1990. Earlier, from Sothebys (Geneva) sale of Gold Coins of the Hispanic World, May 1990, lot 168.
