COLOMBIA. (1625-29)-NRE/NER 8 Reales. Cartagena mint. Philip IV (1621-1665). Restrepo M45.11. Fine Detail - Salt Water Damage (PCGS).
27.28 grams. Almost certainly a 1628, showing a bold 162 and just a suggestion of the lowest curve of the 8 above the cross. The shield side shows some patchy corrosion against a backdrop of salvage granularity. The edges are crude but show no corrosive loss. NR of the assayer/mintmark combination is visible left of the shield. The cross is better preserved, with nice sharpness on the lions and castles, despite some scale at center and a few later scrapes below the patch.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $400.00- $800.00
