COLOMBIA. 1796/3-JF 4 Escudos. Popayán mint. Carlos IV (1788-1808). Restrepo M94.5. MS-61 (PCGS).
Richly toned in deep yellow gold, with beautiful visual appeal on both sides. A broad ring of denticles frames both sides. The obverse die is fallen, giving this piece a swollen look that has limited the striking detail on the portrait. A few little marks around the denomination are the only notable flaws, and the overdate is easily seen under low magnification. A prize from the Norweb Collection.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
