COLOMBIA. 1651-PoRMS 8 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip IV (1621-1665). Restrepo M46.8. VF-30 (PCGS).
26.62 grams. An absolutely beautiful specimen, with ideal dark charcoal gray toning, superb metal quality, and excellent sharpness. The legend and mintmark are a bit double struck at the central obverse, but the assayer initials are crisp. Only the very bottoms of the date numerals are seen, and a large unstruck area takes up most of the space where the date should be. The shield and denomination are bold on the reverse. A very handsome 8 Reales.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $1500.00- $3000.00
