COLOMBIA. 1676-OLM 4 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos II (1665-1700). Restrepo M60.4. VF Detail - Tooled (PCGS).
13.17 grams. Light silver gray with choice surfaces on a broad, round planchet. All of HISPANIARVM is visible at the right obverse periphery, and CARO of CAROLVS is legible on the reverse. At central obverse, the date and assayer are plain, though the mintmark is a bit less distinct. The tooling mentioned by PCGS is deep scrapes that parallel each of the pillars, serving to outline them to their left and right. The denomination is clear on the reverse, as is much of the shield detail, and the planchet is broad enough to allow most of the crown to be visible. An impressive piece, displaying eye appeal as exceptional as its rarity. The OLM assayer mark is known only on coins dated 1676.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $750.00- $1500.00
