COLOMBIA. 1760-J 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Ferdinand VI (1746-1759). Restrepo M26.6. AU-55 (PCGS).
Another choice example of this elusive issue. Medium yellow gold with superb luster and some reflective texture in the recesses of the reverse. A bit softly struck in the space between the legends and the rim in areas of the obverse, like the preceding lot and the Calicó plate piece, here including 17 of the date. Scattered hairlines are present, many tiny marks, a few little flaws on the rim including a cut beneath the J assayer initial and a rim nick above N of MAGNA. Still a lovely example, a fine way to represent the date or the three-year Ferdinand VI Popayán type.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
