COLOMBIA. 1780/79-JJ 8 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M72.19. AU-55 (PCGS).
Frosty and highly lustrous, showing little evidence of wear though scattered bagmarks are visible across both sides. A few specks of harmless detritus are seen, including in front of the portrait's lips. The strike is good, though the obverse die is quite fatigued, with a break on A of CAROL, two in the field near the bust, and other raised artifacts elsewhere. Very attractive and richly original.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
