- COLOMBIA. 1664-PoRS 8 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip IV (1621-1665). Restrepo M46.38. VF-30 (PCGS). 26.82 grams. Countermarked with the toison or Golden Fleece of Brabant, Delmonte-324, ca. 1652-72. A fascinating and well-traveled 8 Reales, struck in Bogotá in 1664 but countermarked in Brabant (modern day Belgium) for circulation there. Dark gray recesses contrast handsomely with lighter silver devices. The mintmark, date, and RS of the assayer are all crystal clear on the tight, chunky planchet. The shield is perfectly centered on the confined reverse, allowing for IIIV to be seen at right. The Brabant countermark is just above dead center on the shield, with its impression visible on the obverse area opposite. Scarce as a date and scarce with this countermark; Restrepo located just three Colombian cobs with this countermark. Of those, he chose this coin as his plate piece, taken from an earlier illustration in Gaceta Numismaticain Spain. Estimate: $2,000 - $4,000. Provenance: From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins. PCGS #546598. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
