Potosi, Bolivia, bust 4 escudos, Charles IV (non-laureate bust, large local portrait), 1791PR, encapsulated NGC VF 30, very rare. Janson-73.3.2; KM-80 ;CT-242. Only 170 4 escudos were made in this year, including the even-rarer laureate bust, which is larger (but note this non-laureate bust is still larger than the standard Charles IV portrait), so it is small wonder we were unable to trace another example in any recent sales archives. We feel the NGC grade on this coin is low, as this coin compares favorably with XF's of other types, especially since it shows full details and nicely contrasting toning.
