Sale 60 · An Important Collection of Australian Banknotes, Australian & World Coins

Description

Colombia, Philip V (1700-1746), gold cob four escudos, 1730, (13.5 grams), (cf.KM.23, cf.Cal. 252). Very fine and very rare the date previously unlisted.

The dates recorded are 1740, 1745 and 1747, and illustrated examples are clearly of this type. However the date is clearly 1 7 - 0 and it is clearly not a 4, but appears as more as a 3 with the lower part curved as of a 3. If it is 1730 it is unlisted and unpublished.
