Spain

Cob and portrait gold of the Santa Fe de Bogotá mint, struck for the Spanish Crown in the Viceroyalty of New Granada.

The records attributed to Spain on Notofilia are colonial gold coins: escudos and doubloons of Philip V, Charles III, Charles IV, and Ferdinand VII, struck at Santa Fe de Bogotá (mintmark NR). They circulated as Crown coin, not as later Colombian republican issues.

The Spanish colonial coinage catalog gathers the same group with mint and assayer context. This page is the permanent country destination; Colombia separately documents paper money and necessity coinage after independence.
