COLOMBIA. 1785-JJ 8 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M72.30. AU Detail - Scratch (PCGS).
Beautifully toned, with deep olive gold on the obverse highlighted with peripheral toning of navy blue and rose, while the reverse is more richly colored with rose, violet, and pale blue. The central obverse shows some granular texture, but details are nicely struck on both sides. A scratch right of the shield extends from above S to the rim beyond E of AUSPICE, and shorter scratches are seen beneath the eye on the portrait and on the shoulder epaulet, but this remains a very attractive and well preserved specimen.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
