Bogota, Colombia, cob 8 escudos, 1750/49S, F-S to right (S-8 to left?), rare. Restrepo-M98.4 var; S-B27a; KM-unl (26 for type); CT-53. 26.45 grams. Good full cross-and-tressure and nearly full shield, peripheries flat except for small bits like the weak but certain date, VF with slightly rolled edge as removed from jewelry. Curiously, the lions in the shield are erroneously facing right (also in proper quadrants), which is also seen on some 1/4R of this period (and different from Restrepo's example for 1750/49).
