Minted in Colombia in 1762, this 8 Escudo coin showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the era. Its design features intricate details that transport us back to the colonial period, evoking images of a bygone era and the grandeur of the Spanish Empire.

The person depicted on the front of the coin is King Charles III of Spain, also known as Carlos III. The lettering around the edge of the obverse, "D-G-HISPAN-ETIND-REX-1792-CARLOS-III," can be translated as "By the Grace of God, King of the Spains and the Indies, Carlos III, 1792." On the reverse, the lettering "MAGNA-SEQUOR-J.V.-N-R-NOMINA" can be translated as "I follow great names" with "J.V." referring to Joaquín Vásquez, the Assayer of the Mint in Nuevo Reino (present-day Colombia) during that time.

Its impressive design, combined with its prestigious certification, make it an investment-worthy piece for both seasoned collectors and those new to the world of numismatics.
