COLOMBIA. 1652-PoRMS 8 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip IV (1621-1665). Restrepo M46.12. VF Details - Salt Water Damage (PCGS).
25.67 grams. Well struck on a broad planchet, this piece shows a wealth of detail on both sides. The surfaces are well preserved for a salvage coin, with only minor granularity and good contrast between devices and the light silver fields. The assayer initials are mostly clear, the date is a little soft on 52 but still legible, and the mintmark is sharp despite some doubling. The reverse is highlighted by an unusually complete crown over a finely rendered shield, along with a visible denomination and a portion of PHILIPPVS. Sharp and desirable with especially strong visual appeal for a treasure coin.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
