Plain edge. Struck from the same dies as the gold Restrepo-58 offered above. Fully struck and deeply reflective, with dusky gray and subtle blue toning on both sides. A beautiful piece, with only some trivial hairlines and a few minor marks, including a thin scratch in the upper left obverse field between the profile and I of REPUBLICA. A high wire rim surrounds the top of the reverse. Plated in Restrepo using its 1988 Christies auction photograph, this coin is at least extremely rare and may be unique. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Christies sale of February 1988, lot 180.
