Extraordinarily well struck, showing the locally-added engraved details on the collar of the portrait bust of Carlos IV, correcting and re-engraving details that were lost by an overzealous polishing of the obverse die. Pale green and deep golden highlights grace highly lustrous surfaces, mostly framed by long denticles. Choice for the grade, a really superb piece. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Spink Americas sale of the Norweb Collection, March 1997, lot 449.
