COLOMBIA. 1778/7-JJ 8 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M78.16. MS-64 (PCGS).
Satiny surfaces show unbroken luster on both sides, with rich medium yellow gold toning and exceptional eye appeal. Well struck and free of all but the most trivial marks. A trace of dark encrustation clings to the recesses within the upper right of the shield. Exceptionally well preserved and with a fine provenance, this is the single finest Colombian 8 Escudos of Carlos III graded by PCGS.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
