COLOMBIA. 1808-JJ 8 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos IV (1788-1808). Restrepo M97.40a. MS-62 (PCGS).
The final onza struck in Bogotá in the name of Carlos IV. Frosty light yellow gold with superb luster and aesthetic appeal. A little soft at centers, but showing few marks or other issues and seemingly worthy of consideration at a higher grade. This obverse shows a : instead of a single pellet between DG. Die cracks stretch from the rim through the R and the L of CAROL, and another is seen on the king's forehead beneath H of HISPAN. A very attractive and well preserved example of this issue.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
