COLOMBIA. Cob 4 Reales, 1662-NR P.oR. Bogota Mint. Philip IV. NGC AU-55.
KM-10.1; Restrepo/Lasser-M38S-15. Weight: 13.70 gms. The single finest certified example of the type on either the NGC or PCGS population reports. A very rare type and highly coveted in this EXTREMELY RARE state of preservation. This beautifully preserved survivor exhibits a bold strike with strong well-defined central design features, full four-digit date, mint mark and assayers letters on the obverse. The reverse though bold does show minor strike doubling in the shield with partial king's name and clear denomination "IIII" to the left. The surfaces of the lightly circulated crude issue exhibit signs of handling consistent for the grade with hints of remaining luster in the protected area. This lovely survivor offers a pleasing appearance and is vastly superior than normally encountered displaying attractive mottled gray patina with minor earthen deposits amongst the devices.
