COLOMBIA. 1722-SAN 4 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip V (1700-1746). Restrepo M74.4. XF Detail - Plugged (PCGS).
13.69 grams. Struck on a broad planchet and toned down to near ebony, this is among the sharpest and most attractive specimens of this elusive type. The obverse striking is crisp, leaving the 4 denomination to left, S assayer mark to right, and mintmark at lower center all neat and legible. The plug is located below and right of the base of the right pillar and was clearly accomplished a very long time ago. Some peen marks and roughness above the shield on the reverse remain from the repair, but that side is otherwise very attractive, with a clear SAN assayer left of the shield, IIII denomination to right, and ILIPVS V name around the lower periphery. This coin is plated in Calicó (where all three Philip V 4 Reales of Santa Fe are called "rarisima") and in Restrepo. Of the highest rarity, this would be a highlight in any specialized collection of this denomination.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $1000.00- $2000.00
