COLOMBIA. 1753-S 4 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Ferdinand VI (1746-1759). Restrepo M96.9. EF-45 (PCGS).
13.47 grams. Struck on a tighter planchet than the previous piece but showing more of the date digits, this piece is nicely round and shows some contrasting light colored sediment in the intricacies of both sides. A little bit granular or seaworn, but the reverse shows a strong peripheral legend around a well-struck cross, while the shield side shows a good mintmark but no assayer. An attractive example.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
