COLOMBIA. 1757-SJ 4 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Ferdinand VI (1746-1759). Restrepo M20.4. AU Detail - Damage (PCGS).
Lustrous light yellow gold with excellent luster and overall surface quality. The centering is ideal and the strike is bold, nearly bold enough to efface some parallel vertical adjustment marks that extend from 6:00 on the reverse up to the crown. A small but heavy rim nick is mostly obscured by the current holder above N of IND on the right obverse, M of NOMINA on the reverse. A single nick is noted at the upper right of the shield. A sharp and attractive example of this rarity, one that this collector was not able to upgrade until the Eliasberg sale of 2005.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
