Watch List notes:

Bogota, Colombia, cob 2 escudos, 1702VA, all 4 digits of date upside down and in reverse order, preceded by assayer and king (Philip V), extremely rare, from the 1715 Fleet. Restrepo-M79.1 (variant).; S-B24; KM-14.2. 6.71 grams. A fascinating coin on many levels, with a somewhat unprecedented (and full) manifestation of the date, strange placement of assayer and king on reverse, and the appearance of Philip's name (on both sides of the coin) as opposed to Charles, since Charles' name appears posthumously on the obverse of Bogota 2E as late as 1715. According to Restrepo, two specimens are known of this weird issue, but the two he pictures show CAROLVS on the obverse as opposed to the PHILIPPVS that appears on the present specimen (which is therefore unique). The cross and shield are both full but slightly messy from doubling, but the grade is high (Mint State) and enhanced by lovely red toning all over. From the 1715 Fleet.

Estimate: $5000 - 7500
