COLOMBIA. 1771-VJ 8 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M71.22. AU-55 (PCGS).
A superb example of this final "rat nose" 8 Escudos of Colombia. Medium yellow gold with deeper peripheral toning and abundant luster. Well struck and supremely attractive, with only an impact from another coin's denticles across the bust noted as a defect. The lower left obverse field shows die swelling. An extremely handsome specimen of this scarce and important issue.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
