COLOMBIA. 1792-JJ 8 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos IV (1788-1808). Restrepo M97.6a. MS-64 (PCGS).
One of the very finest surviving specimens of this type, showing full magnificent cartwheel luster. The medium yellow gold surfaces are especially frosty and show only the most trivial marks. Both obverse and reverse positively glow, setting this piece apart from most examples of this type. Well struck and superb in every regard.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
From Stack's sale of November 1970.
Estimate: $4000.00- $5000.00
