Bogota, Colombia, cob 8 escudos, 1750/49S, assayer not visible (S above denomination 8 to left), mintmark F-S to right, proper quadrants but lions facing right, rare. Restrepo-M98.4 var; S-B27a; Cal-801; KM-unl (26 for type). 26.45 grams. Polished AXF with somewhat rolled edge from mounting, bold full cross-and-tressure with clear bottom half of date (all 1750s being overdates), nearly full shield (slightly off-center) with oddly right-facing lions in proper quadrants, an aspect of some silver coin of this period as well, faint toning here and there. Pedigreed to our Auction 20, with original lot-tag #49.
