COLOMBIA. 1776-JS 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M73.16. AU Detail - Rim Damage (PCGS).
Abundant coppery and violet toning enlivens medium yellow surfaces. A good bit of luster persists, especially on the reverse. The reverse rim shows two light rim bruises in the upper left, but neither is terribly severe. Some light hairlines are seen, thin diagonal scratch behind portrait. The right obverse field appears swollen, the left field a bit less so. A handsome example despite very minor issues. Calicó calls this date "very rare" and the most desirable of the Carlos III Popayán series.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
