COLOMBIA. 1757-SJ 4 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Ferdinand VI (1746-1759). Restrepo M20.4. AU Detail - Cleaned (PCGS).
Medium yellow gold, a bit more deeply toned at the peripheries. Boldly struck with excellent centering. Both sides retain good luster despite the light cleaning, which has left some hairlines and brightness but has not significantly harmed the aesthetic appeal. A rare issue in any grade, this example may be among the finest examples surviving today.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
