COLOMBIA. 8 Escudos, 1777-P SF. Popayan Mint. Charles III. PCGS AU-58 Gold Shield.
Fr-36; KM-50.2; Restrepo-73.20. A spectacular example, this specimen presents immense luster remaining as well as alluring, problem free fields. The slightest degree of gentle handling is evident on the high points--the only aspect preventing a Mint State designation. A coppery-red peripheral nature further augments its charm.
