COLOMBIA. 1773-JS 4 Escudos. Popayán mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M68.1. AU-53 (PCGS).
A good deal of luster remains at the obverse periphery, and across the reverse, enlivening light yellow gold surfaces. Some deep orange toning is seen inside the rims. A short scratch is present between L of CAROL and the hair bow, another close to the portrait's chest. A good-looking example of the first year of this portrait type.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
From Ray Johnson, August 1973.
Estimate: $1000.00- $2000.00
