COLOMBIA. (1627-31)-P 8 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip IV (1621-1665). Restrepo M44.12. VF Detail - Mount Removed (PCGS).
27.27 grams. Smooth surfaces show ideal medium gray color and contrasting darker recesses. The centering is perfect on both sides, and the mintmark (to the left) and denomination (to the right) are both present, though the lower digits of the denomination are soft. The cross side is flawless, even as the thick planchet confines the design to the cross and its quadrants and nothing more. Some old toned scratches are seen atop the cross side; presumably this is where the mount was located, but it is not visible in the current encapsulation. A very nice non-salvage example.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
