Lot 940 COLOMBIA, Popayán, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles IV, 1808 JF, ex-JEAS.
COLOMBIA, Popayán, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles IV, 1808 JF, ex-JEAS. Restrepo-unl (85 for type); KM-56.2; Cal-1172; Fr-59. 3.41 grams. Lustrous AU+ with slight die-buckle on obverse corresponding to a weak center on reverse, off-center strike with incomplete rims, but overall high in quality for this issue. (Note: Similar to the previous lot, Restrepo only lists the 8/7 overdate for this date and type, which seems to be a simple omission error and not any indicator of relative rarity.). Pedigreed to the JEAS Collection.
