COLOMBIA. 1816-F-Pn 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Ferdinand VII (1808-1833). Restrepo M128.24. AU-55 (PCGS).
Deeply toned yellow gold with excellent luster and choice surfaces. Only a well hidden scuff from above the center of the shield to the base of the crown is worthy of mention. Heavy file marks cover the superscript N of the mintmark, but it remains perfectly clear. A fascinating and extraordinarily elusive variety, here represented by a well struck and very pleasing specimen.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
