COLOMBIA. (1626-30)-ERN 8 Reales. Cartagena mint. Philip IV (1621-1665). Restrepo M45.12var. AU Detail - Tooled (PCGS).
26.38 grams. A very high grade and well preserved salvage survivor. The shield is especially sharp, and the full height of the crown is visible above it on the oblong planchet. The denomination is visible to the shield's left, ERN assayer/mintmark combination nearly complete to the right. The cross side is particularly crisp and attractive. Some black scale or plaque was deftly removed from the unstruck area right of the shield, but it hardly merits calling this coin "tooled." A particularly nice coin, the only ERN variety in this collection, a type not specifically described by Restrepo.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
