COLOMBIA. 1722-NoR-FS 2 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip V (1700-1746). Restrepo M72.4. VF-25 (PCGS).
6.44 grams. An important example of this rare type, ideally centered on a round planchet and showing a full three-digit date. 722 is bold at the upper left of the obverse, and the rarely seen FS marks are perfectly clear on either side of the pillars. The central legend, the NoR mintmark, and HISPAN at the periphery are all sharp. The reverse is somewhat worn but still shows a good shield and both indicators of the denomination. The surfaces are choice and problem free, nicely toned in deep antique gray with lighter devices. One of the most desirable examples of this rare type, unholed and fully dated.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $1000.00- $2000.00
