COLOMBIA. 1768-JV 8 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M71.12. AU Detail - Damage (PCGS).
Light yellow gold with superb sharpness and a good deal of luster. Marked with scattered deep cuts, including one in the right obverse field, another near the hair tie, and others of less consequence across both sides. The reverse is a bit cloudy or matte in areas, and a number of abrasions and scuffs are hidden within the central reverse design, but the visual appeal remains quite good all things considered. This is the plate coin in the Calicó Onza book and is very elusive in any grade.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
