COLOMBIA. 1753-S 4 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Ferdinand VI (1746-1759). Restrepo M96.9. AU-55 (PCGS).
13.46 grams. Light yellow gold with some white and pink encrustation or sediment in the intricacies of the design. Attractive and well centered, boldly struck at centers with a nice cross and complete shield. The mintmark, assayer, and denomination are all crisp, and the bottom half of all four date digits is visible. Round and coined on a broad planchet, this is an ideal representation of the type.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Acquired from Stack's, April 1981.
Estimate: $2000.00- $4000.00
