COLOMBIA. 1807-JJ 4 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos IV (1788-1808). Restrepo M93.26. AU Detail - Cleaned (PCGS).
Medium yellow gold with a natural appearance and good luster, though subtle hairlines are seen, particularly in the reverse fields. The obverse die is cracked through G of DG into the center of the portrait. Well centered and quite bold, this is a fine example of the final date of this design type. Restrepo singles this date out as a rarity, but all Carlos IV 4 Escudos from Santa Fe are quite elusive.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
