COLOMBIA. 1765-JV 8 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M71.6b. AU-58 (PCGS).
Beautiful rose and orange toning frames the peripheries around medium yellow gold centers. Supremely lustrous, a bit reflective around the legends, just a beautiful coin at this grade. The reverse is misaligned to the upper left, leaving longer than usual denticles at the lower right. The strike is crisp and the portrait is perfectly realized. An old abrasion under IND REX blends in. The parallel lines seen above the date are raised die finish lines, and a thin die crack extends from Q of UTROQ to the upper left corner of the shield. An exceptionally pretty piece.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
