Mompos, Colombia, bronze 1 mitad token, 1844, Jose M. Ruiz, NGC VF 30 BN. Rulau-Bol25; Henao-COM324-1. Good full details with sunface as obverse design, full rims, dark chocolate color all over. Rulau: "struck in the United States to the order of Colombian merchants by a single American die-sinker who utilized old Hard Times tokens as one source of planchets." According to Henao, Ruiz was registered in 1869 as owning an aguardiente distillery and his choice of a radiant sun may have indicated his membership in the Masonic lodge Union Momposina.
