COLOMBIA. 1789-JJ 2 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo 61.37. AU-55 (PCGS).This is the variety Restrepo calls 1789/7 and terms "rare," the sole posthumous Colombian 2 Escudos of Carlos III. Frosty light yellow gold with good remaining luster and scattered marks. A thin scratch divides SP of HISP on the obverse. An attractive and high grade example of this elusive final Carlos III issue.
