COLOMBIA. 1787-JJ/VJ 4 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M67.6. EF-45 (PCGS).
The last Carlos III 4 Escudos from Santa Fe, and the first Santa Fe issue of this denomination since 1779. The same reverse die was employed as was used from 1770 through 1779, with a portion of the left side of a V visible beneath the first J of the JJ assayer initials. Medium yellow gold with good eye appeal, just minor marks consistent with the grade. A very scarce issue, missing from most major auction offerings.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2500.00
