COLOMBIA. 1631-P 8 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip IV (1621-1665). Restrepo M44.7. VF-25 (PCGS).
Light silver gray with patches of dark maroon surface encrustation, perhaps from a ground hoard but showing no granularity or evidence of sea salvage. Well struck and attractive, with an ideally centered obverse. The king's ordinal IIII is complete, as is the N/R/P mintmark and assayer combination left of the shield. The denomination right of the shield is mostly bold. Some of the cross detail is a bit soft but the full 1631 date is clear. Rare and very attractive.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $1500.00- $3000.00
