COLOMBIA. 1889-M 5 Decimos. Medellín mint. Restrepo 404.1. AU-58 (PCGS).Flashy and lustrous with a hint of golden toning at the peripheries, this coin has the look of a Mint State specimen. Only minor handling is noted. The strike is bold on both sides, bringing the distinctive portrait into full relief and leaving the attractive floral decorations at the top and bottom of the obverse bold and easily seen. This is finer than the Restrepo plate coin, and is likely the finest known example of this historically important rarity.
