Colombia
Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1769/7 PN-J AU58 NGC, Popayan mint, KM38.2, Onza-796, Restrepo-70.13. A striking example of this popular and short-lived portrait type, on the cusp of uncirculated condition with only faint wear to the high points and an attractive sheen of fiery sunset-orange tone. A technical status matched by few, as many examples of these early milled gold issues are found with heavy handling or cleaning.
