Lot description: GUATEMALA, Guatemala City, gold bust 4 escudos, Charles IV transitional (bust of Charles III, ordinal IV/III), 1789 M, very rare, NGC VF 30, ex-Rudman. JP-4E33; KM-48; Cal-1446; Fr-15. The 4 escudos in this series, struck in the same odd years as the 8 escudos, are even rarer, with reportedly only eight to ten of this date known to exist, the stated grade more an assessment of the weakly struck centers than actual wear since the legends are lustrous (and lightly red-toned), with the standard ordinal IV over III not mentioned on the label. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet (stated on label), with his original numbered cardboard holder. Estimate: $4000 - $6000 |
