COLOMBIA. 1651-PoRMS 4 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip IV (1621-1665). Restrepo M38.1. AU Detail - Salt Water Damage (PCGS).
11.60 grams. A coin that saw very little, if any, circulation before it was deposited in the sea. The 1651 date is clear, as is the obverse legend and mintmark. RMS of the assayer is plain on the left side of the left column, a departure from the PoR assayer mark for this year described by Restrepo. PHILIP and most of the shield are clear on the reverse. Both sides are light silver gray with darker contrast in recessed areas. Most areas are free from any granularity or corrosion, though some peripheral areas show minor roughness.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $300.00- $600.00
