An exceptional coin regardless of its rarity, an extreme rarity regardless of its grade. Fully lustrous light yellow gold surfaces show a remarkably strong strike from the amateurishly produced dies. The legends are nearly uniformly repunched, all visible without the benefit of magnification. Problem free and very attractive. As this date was listed by Sedwick in 1991, there is likely more than one specimen of this issue, but it is very unlikely any are finer. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Spink Americas sale of the Norweb Collection, March 1997, lot 617.
