Bust of Carlos IV. A stellar example of this rare issue. Perfectly struck on a broad, round planchet and finely toned a deep antique gray, this coin displays uncommon eye appeal for a portrait 8 Reales issue, let alone one this rare. Choice and unflawed, even under scrutiny. This is far finer than the 1985 Norweb specimen and also finer than the example CNG sold for $10,120 in September 1987. This is a very impressive Popayán 8 Reales. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
