Colombia - 20 Pesos, 1869/8 (Medellin). Fr-101; KM-142.2. 32.12 grams. Diademed head of Liberty left. Reverse: Bannered arms surmounted by Condor; value, fineness, and mint. A remarkable, clean, full strike. The obverse die refurbished, thus making the strike somewhat granular in appearance; the reverse, the dies of 1868, still very fresh. Trivial edge flaw and edge scrape, otherwise coin fresh and pristine, with satiny luster, especially on reverse. Very Rare in this state of preservation. Probably among the finer known. NGC graded MS-64.
