Bogota, Colombia, cob 1/4 real, Philip IV, no assayer, rare, finest and only example in NGC census, Restrepo Plate, NGC VF 25. Restrepo-M14.3; KM-B7; Cal-531. Bold full lion ("slender") and castle ("narrow… without windows") on a small, odd-shaped flan with what appears to be a rope border on both sides, lightly toned, placed under Philip IV in Restrepo with the note that "Design details such as slender lions... suggest [it] should be located after Philip IV." Apparently this is the first Colombian cob cuartilla to be numerically graded by NGC (with one other in the "details" census at the VF level. NGC #5938639-001. Pedigreed to the Nueva Granada collection and plated on page 69 of Restrepo's Coins of Colombia (2012) (stated on label).
