COLOMBIA. 1830-FW 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Restrepo M166.26. AU-58 (PCGS).
Inverted M in assayer. Very attractive light yellow gold with essentially full luster on both sides. The strike is aligned to the upper right of the obverse, lower right of the reverse, with broader denticles on the opposite rim. Nicely detailed and choice in appearance, with only a couple tiny rim abrasions noted over CO of COLOMBIA. This elusive variety is called scarce in Restrepo and RRR in Frank Sedwick's The Gold Coinage of Gran Colombia.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
