wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 10:17 pm I want to know the meaning of the edge inscription of this coin and use Google translate for it but there still a problem. I suppose the edge inscription of this coin is in Spanish. DIOS = GOD LIBERTAD = FREEDOM LEI = ? (No translation from Google) Do you know the meaning of "LEI"? Thank you for any help and advice.

publius Pillar of the Community United States 883 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 11:05 pm "Dios, Libertad, Ley" = God, Freedom, Law. It's just a variant spelling, probably catalogued somewhere, but not in Krause that I can see. (Krause is very bad about edges, even though they're such an important identifier.)

MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 07/14/2013 03:58 am Yes, Ley is Law. Indeed, all the existing catalogs are missing really important informations about the edge ... This is even more true considering the edge is one of the diagnostics used to check out fakes. And later, because the edge had important informations (maybe variants as well ?) as we have here.

realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 07/16/2013 03:34 am Generally the only time Krause notes edge writing is when there is a notable variety involving it (spacing, variant phrase, etc.). Report this Post to the Staff

The coin was issued by the United States of Colombia. I like these Pesos and I think they're much scarcer than the 50 cents. Also below is a pix of my 1871 Bogota Peso. I haven't taken it out of the sealed auction flip. Edited by Gallienus 07/17/2013 3:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
