COLOMBIA. 1670-PoRS 8 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos II (1665-1700). Restrepo M62.8. EF-45 (PCGS).
27.29 grams. A good-looking example, with a well-centered obverse, nice light silver gray color, and smooth surfaces. Assayer and mintmark are ideally clear, date is just a little soft at the right side of 0. Both pillars are perfectly struck. The reverse is a bit misaligned, but the shield is mostly sharp and the king's ordinal II is visible on the periphery. Some trivial hairlines are seen, along with some meaningless marks visible in unstruck areas. While not showing as much of the peripheral legend as the Restrepo plate, this one measures up to it well otherwise.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $2000.00- $4000.00
