COLOMBIA. 1653-PoRAS 8 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip IV (1621-1665). Restrepo M46.15. Extremely Fine, salvaged (uncertified).
26.42 grams. Uncertified due to "peeling lamination" as described by PCGS. Dusky light silver gray with light salvage granularity and some darker scale at the base of the reverse. A major planchet crack or fissure extends from the obverse edge at 3:00 to the top of the inner circle below 12:00, neatly running up the right side of the shield on the reverse. The assayer, mintmark, and 53 of the date are all perfectly clear, as is the denomination on the left side of the shield. Some scrapes on the V are present where an attempt was made to remove some stubborn scale. A sharp piece made all the more interesting by its major planchet deformity.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
