COLOMBIA. 1796-JF 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Carlos IV (1788-1808). Restrepo M98.12. UNC Detail - Cleaned (PCGS).
The 1980 RARCOA catalog description of this coin used the word "dazzling," which is not too strong to describe the extraordinary lustrous flash of this coin. Light yellow gold with a good deal of reflectivity. The hairlines are fairly modest in most regions aside from a batch in the right obverse field. A very impressive and high grade example.

From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.

From RARCOA's 1980 CICF sale, May 1980, lot 139.

Estimate: $1500.00- $2000.00
