COLOMBIA. 8 Escudos, 1767-PN J. Popayan Mint. Charles III (1759-88). PCGS EF-45 Gold Shield.

Fr-24; Restrepo-70.9; KM-38.2; Cal-type-16#118. Rich medium yellow gold colored with deeper hues and good luster around design elements. The rims are a bit crude, showing both softness of strike and scattered marks and abrasions. Other tiny marks are noted on both sides, and a thin hairline scratch stretches from the truncation of the bust to between IND and REX. An attractive circulated specimen of this scarce type.
