Charles III gold 4 Escudos 1763 So-J AU55 NGC, Santiago mint, KM23, Cal-1866. A thrilling representative and the inauguration date of this fleeting type, distinguished by Charles III's instantly recognizable "rat nose" portrait. Firmly struck and highly ornate, the devices remain largely unhandled, and a clear result of having been plucked from circulation not long after production. Laden with originality and amber tones, the piece on offer stands at the apex of the certified population of 3, with the second finest (Ex-Pat Johnson) hammering $15,000, further confirming its importance to the specialist of the South American series. Ex. Heritage Auction #3037 (January 2015, Lot 29194) From Colección Val y Mexía HID09801242017 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
