13.46 grams. A good deal of dark rosy sediment clings to both sides, contrasting with the medium yellow gold surfaces. The shield is bold and well centered enough to allow for a complete mintmark and assayer initial. The cross is considerably off center, allowing room for IARVM RE but not a date. The lion-castle order of the shield would date this coin to 1749-1753 by Restrepos reckoning. A handsome piece. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>Acquired from Stacks, April 1981.
