COLOMBIA. 1804-JF 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Carlos IV (1788-1808). Restrepo M98.27a. MS-62 (PCGS).
Light yellow gold with some reflective texture around the obverse periphery and bold satiny luster across the reverse. Lovely color and surface, well struck. The right obverse field shows heavy vertical die filing or lapping lines, likely left over from an attempt to fix the flaw that left a bulge beneath the king's chin. The area behind the portrait shows some scuffs as well as a shallow lamination. A very pretty and well-preserved example of this date.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
