COLOMBIA. 4 Escudos, 1790-P SF. Popayan Mint. Charles IV. NGC AU Details--Obverse Cleaned. Fr-46; KM-52.2; Restrepo-92-1. One-year transitional bust type for this mint struck in the name of Charles IV (ordinal IV), but with the bust of Charles III. This handsome example boasts a bold even strike with plenty of remaining luster in the protected areas displaying an attractive pale golden-honey coloration with hints of light orange throughout. Close inspection reveals light evidence of a past cleaning only becoming apparent when rotated in the light, but is hardly a distraction. Despite its shortcomings this charming gold minor is quite attractive with plenty of flash and good eye appeal. From the Pat Johnson Collection.<p>Ex: Caballero De Las Yndias (Aureo & Calico Barcelona 4/2009) Lot # 222.
