COLOMBIA. 1761-J 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M70.3. AU-58 (PCGS).
Highly lustrous light yellow gold with excellent aesthetic appeal. A bit soft in some spots between the legend and the rims, but well struck everywhere else. No heavy marks, though a natural circular lintmark is noted beneath E of SEQUOR. A nice example of this fairly scarce issue, more choice than the similarly graded Eliasberg coin.

From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.

From Christie's Geneva sale of the Kurt Homme Collection, November 25-26, 1981, lot 695.

Estimate: $2000.00- $4000.00
