Medellin, Colombia, 20 pesos, 1869, encapsulated NGC XF details, surface hairlines. Sedwick-44. Restrepo-337. KM-142.2. Good toning, some wear (per the grade), but no outright damage that we can see except for a minor rim-bruise. RR in Sedwick. Re-punched 6 in date, and noticeably larger head than for the 1869/8 overdate, but different from the plain 1868. Per Sedwick: "The Medellin mint tended to be experimental." Freeman Craig 4/79, and prior to that, Boulton & Co. (Caracas, ca. 1910). Dr. Frank Sedwick collection of Colombian Republic gold coins
