COLOMBIA. 1830-UR 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Restrepo M166.27. MS-63 (PCGS).
A stunning example from the famous Mortimer Hammel Collection, back on the market after a 35-year absence. Deep even yellow gold surfaces show superb luster covering every part of both sides. Frosty and beautiful, free of any significant post-striking defects. The centers are a bit soft, revealing some subtle diagonal adjustment marks. This piece shows unusual bloom and freshness and stands as one of the best preserved examples extant of this design type.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
