COLOMBIA. 1701-V.A. 2 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip V (1700-1746). Restrepo M79var. AU-50 (PCGS).
6.77 grams. An exemplary piece, with a bold 1701 date and nearly full [P]HILIPVS, followed by the V.A. assayer initials usually associated with this date. While CAROLVS is not present on this specimen, this is usually described as a posthumous issue of Carlos II. Bright yellow gold with good eye appeal, no sediment or damage, quite soft at centers of both sides but blessedly well struck at the peripheries.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
