Bogota, Colombia (Lazareto), brass 2-1/2 centavos, 1901, extremely rare. Restrepo-360.1; KM-L1. 1.2 grams. Bold XF with crude rims (as made), tiny spots of toning but also toned around details, with faint die-crack above date, brassy color and hint of luster. This is the smallest denomination in a series of coins struck specially for leprosariums in the early 1900s. This denomination by far the rarest in the series, with only about 12 known, according to researcher Andres Yepes Perez.
