The last Carlos III 4 Escudos from Santa Fe, and the first Santa Fe issue of this denomination since 1779. The same reverse die was employed as was used from 1770 through 1779, with a portion of the left side of a V visible beneath the first J of the JJ assayer initials. Medium yellow gold with good eye appeal, just minor marks consistent with the grade. A very scarce issue, missing from most major auction offerings. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
