COLOMBIA. 1652-PoRAS 8 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip IV (1621-1665). Restrepo M46.10. EF Detail - Salt Water Damage (PCGS).
26.03 grams. Well struck on a broad planchet that shows more visible peripheral detail than usually encountered. The mintmark, assayer, and date are all clear, despite the fine granularity caused by sea exposure and some scattered microscopic pitting of greater severity. The reverse shows a good deal of the king's name, all four digits of IIII, and a bold denomination, in addition to a complete shield and partial crown. A planchet split above 3:00 on the reverse does not affect any design elements. Light gray with some darker toning. An attractive piece.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
