COLOMBIA. 1651-PoRAMS 8 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip IV (1621-1665). Restrepo M46.4. VF Details - Tooled (PCGS).
26.80 grams. Handsome mottled dark and medium gray with well defined central elements. The "tooling" described by PCGS appears to be some light abrasions in the unstruck area of the lower left obverse and near the edge to the lower left of the shield on the reverse. Some old scale persists within the top portion of the NR mintmark at the lower central obverse and less noticeably in other areas. The PLVS VLTRA legend is complete, as are the pillars, the denomination, and most of the reverse shield. 16 of the date is clear, while the second two digits are obscure. The assayer initials are soft at A but clear enough to make a positive attribution without issue.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
