Colombia – 1978 – 15000 Pesos – Ocelot – Gold – Mint State – NGC MS67 – Cert 2131582-027 – Set with 500 Pesos Crocodile Silver – 750 Pesos Hummingbird Silver

Description

This offer is not just for a single gold coin, but for a coherent set of three coins from 1978: the 15,000-peso gold coin featuring the ocelot as the centerpiece, complemented by the two corresponding silver issues: the 500-peso coin with the crocodile and the 750-peso coin with the hummingbird. This provides you with a thematically complete set, which is significantly rarer on the collectors’ market when presented as a whole than as individual coins.

The gold coin has been examined by NGC and graded MS67 . The original certificate of authenticity is also included. Especially with these Latin American collector issues, the combination of high mint-state condition, verified certification, and complete set composition is a clear indicator of quality. At the same time, the set is ready for immediate collectors, without the need for tedious later addition of individual components.

All three coins are linked by their connection to Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera (1798-1878) , and their reverses feature motifs related to nature and species conservation. Thus, the set combines historical perspective and powerful animal imagery in a form that is ideally suited for a high-quality Colombian or world gold collection.
