COLOMBIA. 1816-FM-P 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Ferdinand VII (1808-1833). Restrepo M128.27. MS-61 (PCGS).
Bright and satiny on the obverse, reflective on the reverse, but attractive and richly lustrous throughout. A lamination is noted in front of the profile, more subtle above the head and on the forehead. A little softly struck at centers, reverse die swollen beneath AUSPICE, totally free of noteworthy marks, a really excellent specimen of this date.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
From Christie's Geneva sale of the Kurt Homme Collection, November 25-26, 1981, lot 816.
Estimate: $2000.00- $2500.00
