COLOMBIA. 1834-FM 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Restrepo M166.37. AU Detail - Planchet Flaw (PCGS).
A broad frame of denticles surrounds both sides, with bright luster seen in protected areas of the obverse and across the somewhat reflective reverse. The surfaces show light yellow gold color, very appealing despite a strike that has left the centers a bit soft. On the reverse, a natural planchet depression was not fully struck out, and a flat lamination is present behind the obverse portrait. The overall technical quality and visual appeal remain excellent. Restrepo rates this date scarce.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
