COLOMBIA. 8 Escudos, 1793-NR JJ. Nuevo Reino Mint. Charles IV. PCGS AU-58+ Gold Shield.
Fr-51; KM-62.1; Restrepo-97.8. The single second finest certified of the date on the PCGS population report, only one finer (MS 63). This visually stunning survivor displays lovely rich old cabinet tone with a plethora of hues that pop out when tilted in the light. The well struck intricate design features are accentuated by the highly attractive patination that radiates from the devices offering a pleasing appearance. Dripping with originality it is obvious that this survivor was plucked from circulation early on given much care and attention. Seldom encountered in this pleasing state of preservation, the grade as indicated on the PCGS does not reflect its quality.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
