COLOMBIA. 1758-J 4 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Ferdinand VI (1746-1759). Restrepo M20.6. AU-50 (PCGS).
Attractive deep orange toning highlights and traces of reddish encrustation blend around devices, contrasting with deep yellow surfaces. Ideally centered and well struck. Some traces of luster persist around the peripheries. The obverse shows some evidence of planchet adjustment, with one vertical adjustment mark extending from the shoulder truncation into the hair and two shorter parallel marks visible in the right field below IND. Some shallow laminations are noted with scrutiny near 9:00 among the obverse legend. The reverse die is bulged at left under NOMINA. Choice for the grade, a handsome example of this rarity.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
