COLOMBIA. 1791-SF 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Carlos IV (1788-1808). Restrepo M98.2. AU-55 (PCGS).
Attractive toning gathers on highly lustrous surfaces, satiny on the obverse and reflective on the reverse. Well struck on both sides. Some minor lines and a batch of marks under IND on the obverse do little to detract from the excellent aesthetic appeal. This issue is illustrated in the Calicó Onza book with a pencil rubbing.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
From Ponterio and Associates' auction of December 1984, lot 766.
