COLOMBIA. Silver Proclamation Medal (4 Reales), 1808. Ferdinand VII. PCGS AU-55.
Fonrobert-Unlisted; Medina-304; Herrera-22. Diameter: 34mm; Weight: 15.1 gms. Commemorating the proclaiming of Ferdinand as the king in Honda. Obverse: Crowned coat-of-arms of Honda: double eagle facing, with scepter in talons and set over stone bridge; Reverse: Crowned coat-of-arms of Spain above legend in four lines. Likely one of the finest examples of this type known, the present piece--exceptionally wholesome and enticing--sports a gunmetal gray tone with some glints of luster remaining in the protected areas. As such, VERY RARE and undoubtedly one which should generate tremendous enthusiasm. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click
