Bogota, Colombia, 2 reales, 1819, "Libertad Americana." Restrepo-138.1; KM-76. 6.25 grams. Virtually UNC, with luster in legends and no wear in evidence, but with slight surface graininess (due to low fineness of 0.666), nearly full central detail (which is rare) but with very minor lamination flaws on reverse, overall exceptional quality for this popular one-year-issue prior to full Colombian independence. Pedigreed to the Ernst Otto Horn collection, with old tag.
