COLOMBIA. 1790-JJ 4 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos IV (1788-1808). Restrepo M91.3. MS-62 (PCGS).
Carlos III portrait. Described as "rare" by Restrepo, this is the final 4 Escudos of Santa Fe to depict Carlos III. It is considerably more elusive than the Popayán issue of this year. Even and frosty light yellow gold with strong luster and widespread reflective surfaces. Struck on a somewhat oblong planchet, with few denticles on the obverse and absent from the top of the reverse. Scattered marks and fine hairlines are seen, and some subtle adjustment marks are present behind the portrait. Well struck and very well preserved overall.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
