COLOMBIA. 1800/0081-JJ 8 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos IV (1788-1808). Restrepo M97.21. AU-58 (PCGS).
One of the most fascinating varieties in the series, showing the date clearly punched over an errant 0081, readily visible under low magnification. Frosty light yellow gold with good luster. Very little denticulation is visible on either side. This obverse was probably fairly short lived, as a substantial bulge has developed behind the portrait's head. Aside from a short vertical scratch above the S right of the shield, quite problem free.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
