A rarity in this popular series, here offered with a superb provenance. The surfaces are bright and lively with luster, evenly toned medium yellow gold. A trivial lamination beneath the ear serves as a marker, with other individually insignificant marks scattered across the obverse. Full of aesthetic appeal, this piece is better preserved than the vast majority of survivors of this issue. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Spink Americas sale of the Norweb Collection, March 1997, lot 595.
