COLOMBIA. 1652-PoRMS 8 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip IV (1621-1665). Restrepo M46.12. XF Detail - Salt Water Damage (PCGS).
24.71 grams. Even granularity on the obverse and more significant porosity on the reverse do little to diminish a positively superb strike that has fully realized nearly all design elements. The mintmark, date, assayer, and legend are all clear on the obverse. The reverse shows an essentially complete crown, a doubled but bold shield, and a clear denomination. Fairly round and very attractive. Above average for the salvage survivors of this type.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
