COLOMBIA. 1806-JJ 8 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos IV (1788-1808). Restrepo M97.36. MS-64 (PCGS).
A frosty near-gem with superlative visual appeal and extraordinary luster. Very well struck on both sides, free of problems but for a trivial vertical hairline beneath ET IND. Just a beautiful example, probably finest known of the date and fresh to the market after more than 45 years.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
From Glendining's sale of November 1971, lot 431.
Estimate: $2500.00- $4000.00
