quiquelo Valued Member Colombia 86 Posts	Posted 07/10/2010 1:18 pm Yes, its gold content is 0.875. Its a beautiful transition piece. Although its a Charles IV coin, the effigy is actually Charles III. Yours is a particular variety since they normally have a dot before Auspice. Also in 1790 most have overdate 90/89. Its worth about 2000 bucks. Cheers. Report this Post to the Staff
