COLOMBIA. 1759-J 4 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Ferdinand VI (1746-1759). Restrepo M20.8. VF Detail - Repaired (PCGS).
Countermarked with a small quatrefoil under RD of FERDND, a familiar yet untraced mark. Medium yellow gold with some darker toning around devices. Granular throughout and showing some hairlines, but most seriously tooled or smoothed in front of the king's chest. Still a very rare coin that this collector was never able to upgrade.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
From Don Canaparo, December 1982.
Estimate: $1500.00- $3000.00
