COLOMBIA. 8 Escudos, 1763-NR JV. Bogota Mint. Charles III. PCGS AU-55.
Fr-31; KM-41; Cal-2080; Restrepo-M71.2. Richly toned and beautiful, this piece is deep yellow gold in hue, with traces of violet, orange, and navy blue around the peripheries and devices. Highly lustrous and enticing, with no significant problems noted. The right obverse die is bulged, which serves to explain the minor softness at the central reverse. The aesthetic quality of this piece would be very difficult to surpass, particularly when taking into account its SCARCER date.
From the S.P. Rutherford Collection. Ex: Eldorado Collection (Stack's Bowers - 1/2018) Lot # 11158. Ex: Kurt Homme Collection (Christie's - 11/1981) Lot # 847.
