Carlos IV portrait. Medium yellow gold with frosty, lustrous surfaces. Excellent eye appeal and detail on both sides, with strong originality and no significant problems. There are only two Ferdinand VII 4 Escudos from Colombia: both were struck in Santa Fe and both depict Carlos IV. Neither tends to appear unless a major collection is sold. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Hans M.F. Schulmans sale of June 1972, lot 91.
