COLOMBIA. 1657-PoRS 8 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip IV (1621-1665). Restrepo M46.24. EF-40 (PCGS).
27.32 grams. Another fine example of this date, struck on a broad planchet that allows a good deal of the peripheral legend to be seen on both sides. The central obverse is mostly bold, though P of the assayer is soft and others are a bit double struck. 165 of the date is clear, while the top of the last digit is mostly obscured. The shield suffers from some doubling on the reverse, as does the denomination. Light old pinscratches are seen in the unstruck area at the lower right obverse and at the upper right of the shield, but otherwise this piece shows few flaws and presents excellent visual appeal.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $1000.00- $2000.00
