COLOMBIA. 1815-JF-P 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Ferdinand VII (1808-1833). Restrepo M128.13. AU-55 (PCGS).
Even and beautiful medium yellow gold with superb cartwheel luster. This die was produced with the same portrait punch as the Norweb 1813 Popayán piece offered in this sale, showing the same amateur re-engraving on the collar. This piece is nicely struck and extremely choice for the grade, with a reverse that appears fully Mint State judged on its own. A scuff within the first D of FERDND is well hidden, and two minor rim nicks, below the bust truncation and above D of DG, don't distract from the excellent aesthetic appeal. The reverse is bulged left of the collar.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
