COLOMBIA. 1643-R 4 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip IV (1621-1665). Restrepo M35.3. VF Detail - Environmental Damage (PCGS).
13.67 grams. Mostly dark charcoal gray with some areas of lighter silver. A salvage piece, with some encrustation still visible. Struck on an unusually broad planchet that allows a complete 1643 date to be visible at the upper left of the cross, along with denticles above it and an unstruck area above that. The R of the mintmark is bold at the left of the shield, as is the denomination at the right. The metal quality is good and no heavy corrosion is present. Not beautiful, but certainly rare with a full four digit date.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
