COLOMBIA. 1781/0-JJ 8 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M72.22. MS-61 (PCGS).
Brightly lustrous and boldly frosty, a spectacular example. The surfaces are bright yellow gold, as fresh as when struck, with just a few hints of rosy toning. Some very light chatter is seen on the obverse, but the reverse is easily two grades finer. Both sides are well struck and beautiful, and the overdate is easily seen under modest magnification. A stellar example of the issue, off the market for more than 35 years.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
