COLOMBIA. 1653-PoRS 8 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip IV (1621-1665). Restrepo M46.14. VF Detail - Salt Water Damage (PCGS).
23.55 grams. Dusky charcoal gray surfaces are granular from sea exposure but retain excellent detail. The top half of the date is soft but all four digits remain visible and legible. The assayer and mintmark are sharp. The reverse centering is aligned to 12:00, so none of the crown is present and the top half of the shield is poorly struck, but the denomination on the left and the tiny cross on the right are clear. Some striations are seen on both sides, and a bit of surface scale is present but mostly blends in.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
