One of the great rarities in this series, missing from the Norweb and Sedwick collections, as well as the May 1990 Sothebys Geneva sale. The Eliasberg Collection included a specimen graded AU-53 (NGC), but this appears to be the finest example ever offered, if not the finest extant. Unbroken cartwheel luster over choice light yellow gold surfaces give this piece the look of a much higher grade. Some trivial granularity is noted on the cheek, but the surfaces are fresh and free of significant marks. A fitting end to this remarkable run of Bogotá 20 Pesos, the last issue in the series and its most notable rarity. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Louis Collins / Heritage, December 1987.
