Bogota, Colombia, 20 pesos, 1859, encapsulated PCGS XF 45, very rare. Sedwick-27; Restrepo-236; KM-130.. Popular one-year type, the largest coin of this government, of which only six specimens are known from a mintage of just 2,002 pieces, this specimen lustrous and barely circulated but with bagmarks all over. Of this important issue Frank Sedwick wrote the following (Gold Coinage of Gran Colombia, 1991): "Although some other Colombian gold coins are rarer, the 1859 Bogota 20 pesos remains the most sought of all large Colombian gold coins, because it is a known rarity, a one-year type, a beautiful design with a youthful liberty head, and the only big gold coin of the Confederacion Granadina."
