Bust of Carlos IV. An especially high grade survivor of this issue, still retaining some luster and showing devices with exceptional detail. Subtle toning is seen on the light silver gray surfaces, though some darker areas survive on the reverse where some scale or corrosion was fairly deftly removed. Both sides show some minor hairlines. The obverse is aligned leftward, allowing the full length of the denticles to be seen at the right; the reverse shows short denticles at the right and longer ones at the left. The overdate is obvious under even low magnification. While this piece is a near twin for the Restrepo plate coin, it is not the same piece; that piece is a non-overdate and is struck from a different reverse die. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
