COLOMBIA. (1747-56)-S 4 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Ferdinand VI (1746-1759). Restrepo M96.9. EF-40 (PCGS).
13.46 grams. A good deal of dark rosy sediment clings to both sides, contrasting with the medium yellow gold surfaces. The shield is bold and well centered enough to allow for a complete mintmark and assayer initial. The cross is considerably off center, allowing room for IARVM RE but not a date. The lion-castle order of the shield would date this coin to 1749-1753 by Restrepo's reckoning. A handsome piece.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
