Bogota, Colombia, cob 8 escudos, 1751, assayer S above denomination 8 to left, mintmark F-S to right, lions and castles transposed, split ribbons and no tressure-loops, rare (unlisted), NGC UNC details / test cut. Restrepo-unl (M98.10 but different date); S-B27a; KM-26; Cal-803. 26.91 grams. Broad, round flan with full but slightly doubled cross-and-tressure with clear final digit of date, bold crown and upper half of shield (lions and castles), full FERD- of king's name, partial peripheral flatness and minor test-marks on edge, toned in crevices (placed upside-down in slab). It is important to note the cross on this coin is attributable to Restrepo-M98.8 or 10 (split ribbons, no tressure-loops around the quadrants of the cross), but the lions and castles in the shield are transposed and the lions are facing left, per Restrepo-M98.10, for which only the date 1752 is listed. NGC #5965225-008. Pedigreed to the Fernandina collection (stated on label).
