COLOMBIA. 1686-(G?) 2 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Charles II (1665-1700). Restrepo M66. AU-50 (PCGS).
6.66 grams. Nice yellow gold with deeper contrasting color in recesses. No assayer is visible on the planchet, but the full four-digit date is plain and easily legible. The shield is double struck and lacks crisp detail, while the cross is fairly strong. This date is not listed by Restrepo, and it was likewise missing from the Norweb (1997) and Lasser (2005 and 2007) offerings.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
