1847 Colombia Gold 16 Peso XF
Struck in the mid nineteenth century, this gold coin offers a fascinating window into South American history. Minted in Bogota, the piece represents a time when the nation was known as the Republic of New Granada. It contains 0.7595 troy ounces of gold, with a purity of 0.875, and has survived in Extra Fine condition. The obverse of the coin displays a left-facing portrait surrounded by the inscription REPUBLICA DE LA NUEVA GRANADA, alongside the 1847 date of issue. The word LIBERTAD is also visible, emphasizing the foundational values of the republic. On the reverse, a detailed heraldic shield is crowned by a condor holding a banner. This striking national symbol is encircled by the denomination and mint details, reading DIEZ I SEIS PESOS. Cataloged as KM #94.1, this sixteen-peso coin is a remarkable specimen of early Colombian minting artistry.
