Charles IV gold 4 Escudos 1792 PTS-PR AU50 PCGS, Potosi mint, KM80, Cal-243. Handsome for the assigned grade with substantial underlying luster, few surface marks and limited wear on the higher points. A transitional type minted in 1791-1792 between the laureated type of 1791 and the regular issues which were minted from 1793 onwards and featured a retouched, smaller bust of the king. Very rare in any grade – missing in the outstanding Eliasberg group - and one of the finest seen by the cataloger. Ex. Caballero de las Yndias collection (Aureo 4/2009, lot 17)
Estimate: 4000-6000 USD
