COLOMBIA. 1761-J 4 Escudos. Popayán mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M64.4. AU-55 (PCGS).
Ferdinand VI portrait. Lustrous light yellow gold with solid detail on both sides and flashes of reflectivity in protected areas. Scattered light marks pepper the fields, and an old diagonal scratch is noted off the portrait's chin. As Restrepo notes, this transitional type lasted for a decade after Ferdinand VI's death, as his portrait was still being depicted as late as 1769 in Popayán. Very scarce in this grade.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
