COLOMBIA. 1780-SF 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M73.26. MS-61 (PCGS).
Deeply reflective on both sides, with exceptional luster and flash over rich medium yellow gold surfaces. Hints of copper toning surround peripheral legends, lending superb aesthetic appeal. Well struck, highly original, and free of problems. Undoubtedly one of the finest survivors of this issue.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
From RARCOA's 1980 CICF sale, May 1980, lot 122.
Estimate: $2000.00- $2500.00
