COLOMBIA. 1770/69-VJ 8 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M71.18. AU Detail - Scratch (PCGS).
Frosty and lustrous light yellow gold with a bold strike and clear overdate. The scrape across the portrait's cheek is notable, but the parallel vertical lines on the portrait are mint-made adjustment marks. Some natural low spots or planchet chips are seen on the neck, shoulder, and behind the head. A very high grade piece with a high level of aesthetic appeal.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
