26.62 grams. An absolutely beautiful specimen, with ideal dark charcoal gray toning, superb metal quality, and excellent sharpness. The legend and mintmark are a bit double struck at the central obverse, but the assayer initials are crisp. Only the very bottoms of the date numerals are seen, and a large unstruck area takes up most of the space where the date should be. The shield and denomination are bold on the reverse. A very handsome 8 Reales. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
