According to Restrepo, just two specimens of this issue are known; this coin serves as the Restrepo plate coin. Medium yellow gold with hints of deeper color around design elements and peripheries. Very attractive despite its assigned grade, with good sharpness, some luster, and no problems that are clearly evident to the naked eye. A light scrape is noted below the chin and three digs are seen at the base of ES of PESO in the upper left reverse periphery. This date is a major rarity, missing from Norweb, Sedwick, and most other name collections. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Stacks, August 1973.
