COLOMBIA. 1804-JT/JF 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Carlos IV (1788-1808). Restrepo M98.28. AU-58 (PCGS).
An extremely rare date and assayer combination, listed as "only a few examples known" in the Calicó Onza book and "two known" in Restrepo. Calicó correctly describes this variety as JT/JF, and a portion of the lower flag of the F is visible right of the upright of the T. Lustrous light yellow gold, mostly reflective on the reverse. The reverse is bulged left of the 8. Excellent eye appeal and free of issues. An important coin for advanced specialists.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
From Hans M.F. Schulman, October 1980.
Estimate: $3000.00- $5000.00
