COLOMBIA, Cartagena, 4 reales-sized proclamation medal, Charles IV (bust of Charles III), 1789, coin axis, very rare, NGC AU 58, "top pop," ex-Santander. Restrepo-p. 121; Herrera-126; Medina-138. 33 mm. Obverse with armored bust of Charles III [sic] within legend CAROL.IV.D.G. HISP.ET IND.R. with Maltese cross at bottom (same die as Bogotá issues); reverse with crowned cross supported by lions within legend PROCLAMATUS * CARTAG * IND * with date *1789* below engraver's monogram (José Martín Carpintero) in exergue. Choice deep toning over muted luster, tiny spots of extra metal on obverse and die-crack on PROCLA on reverse, die cracks near reverse rim, struck in coin-axis alignment (not noted on label nor in references, hence probably quite rare), tied with one other for finest in the NGC census regardless of axis. Pedigreed to the Santander Collection (Sedwick Auction 26, lot 1140).
