Ferdinand VI portrait. A beautiful example of the debut 4 Escudos from the reign of Carlos III. Flashy reflective luster surrounds design elements against a backdrop of medium yellow gold and pale green highlights. Well struck at centers and very attractive on both sides, with scattered tiny marks but no major defects. Finer than the AU-55 (NGC) Eliasberg coin and a very desirable example. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Stacks sale of the Eugenio Gebauer Collection, December 1986, lot 1437.
