COLOMBIA. 1813/2-JF 8 Reales. Popayán mint. Ferdinand VII (1808-1833). Restrepo 120.4. AU Detail - Environmental Damage (PCGS).
Bust of Carlos IV. While cataloged as an 1813 non-overdate by PCGS, this piece is struck from the same obverse die as the previous specimen. The surfaces are dark gray and evenly granular, probably not sea-salvaged but somewhat affected by burial corrosion nonetheless. The sharpness is superb, and this coin likely saw little actual wear. The strike and centering are excellent, and careful scrutiny will find no flaws besides porosity.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $2000.00- $4000.00
