Plain edge. Medal turn. Portrait signed L.C.W. for Leonard Charles Wyon. Dusky gray toning over reflective surfaces and glossy motifs hide bright blue, rose, and pale green highlights. Only trivial evidence of handling and some well hidden reverse hairlines are noted. An important rarity, as these dies were later modified to produce the famous 1886/74 .666 fine 10 Pesos. This is the Restrepo plate coin. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Baldwins Auction 1, May 1994, lot 387.
