Bogota, Colombia, 4 reales proclamation medal, Charles IV (bust of Charles III), 1789, with CAICEDO, corded edge, NGC VF 30.Restrepo-p. 121; Herrera-215; Medina-253.14.11 grams; 32.5mm.Deeply toned with dark stain on reverse, traces of luster (more like AXF in our opinion). For some unknown reason all of the proclamation medals of Charles IV were struck in the 4R size, which is interesting because Colombia did not strike any actual 4 reales in that reign.Pedigreed to the Nueva Granada collection (stated on label).
