COLOMBIA. 1811-JF 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Ferdinand VII (1808-1833). Restrepo M128.7. MS-62 (PCGS).
Choice light yellow gold with abundant luster and fields full of reflectivity. A few trivial parallel adjustment marks cross the portrait, and a tiny lamination is seen in the right field in front of the profile. The central reverse is a bit soft, but other details are well struck up. A very attractive and well-preserved specimen, off the market for nearly 50 years and the finest example seen by PCGS.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
