COLOMBIA. 1787-SF 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M73.40a. AU-55 (PCGS).
A superb example of the interesting "double 8" variety, showing a wildly repunched 8 in the date that is visible to the naked eye. Medium yellow gold with abundant orange and coppery toning on both sides. The luster is bold, particularly bright and reflective on the reverse. Only trivial evidence of handling is visible. A lovely example of the date or variety.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
