COLOMBIA. 1703-ARCE 8 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos II (1665-1700). Restrepo M62.24. VF Detail - Holed (PCGS).
26.50 grams. An attractive posthumous issue of Carlos II, the final year of Colombian 8 Reales coinage until 1721 and the extremely rare issues of Philip V. Nice medium gray with smooth, attractive surfaces. The assayer is multiply struck and a bit indistinct, but the last three digits of the date are crisp. The hole at 9:00 on the obverse aligns to 6:00 on the reverse, which is shift double struck but still shows a good denomination. Original and appealing, a fine example of a very scarce issue.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $1000.00- $2000.00
