BillSnyder Pillar of the Community 778 Posts	Posted 06/30/2012 9:07 pm I was thinking of Costa Rica. This is one of the four denominations of gold, most issued late in the 1800's. Thanks for playing! Bill Report this Post to the Staff

andyg Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1240 Posts	Posted 07/01/2012 6:10 pm What about Colombia 50 Centavos 1892.... Report this Post to the Staff
BillSnyder Pillar of the Community 778 Posts	Posted 07/01/2012 6:54 pm Wow! I had to look that one up! You are quite right. It IS Columbus, but a totally different (to my eye) portrait of him. It's just a sel_69l said. No one really knows what he looked like. Thanks. Now there are two winners! DCH and Andyg Report this Post to the Staff
