COLOMBIA. 1759-J 4 Escudos. Popayán mint. Ferdinand VI (1746-1759). Restrepo M22.4. AU-50 (PCGS).
Medium yellow gold with attractive toning and traces of luster around design elements. Scattered with tiny marks, none individually serious though we note one on the portrait's chin and another beneath D of IND. Well struck, despite obverse die swelling in the right field. The obverse is aligned to the lower right, with long denticles visible at upper left; the reverse is ideally centered. A handsome example, free of serious flaws and very pleasing in hand.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
