COLOMBIA. (1676-91) 2 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos II (1665-1700). Restrepo M58. Fine Detail - Holed (PCGS).
6.43 grams. Struck on a tight nearly round planchet, there is little present on this coin to positively identify it. The pillars are crisp, with N / o / A between them. The planchet shape is a near exact match for the 1676-dated piece plated in Restrepo, and the two round-topped characters that are half visible right of the right pillar seem likely to be the PG assayer mark of Pedro García, active from 1678-91. The reverse shows the four quadrants of the shield and leaves room at the left for the neat round hole. The 2 Reales of this Carlos II type are extremely elusive; this piece's exact attribution may remain just as elusive.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
