COLOMBIA. 1722-NoR 2 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip V (1700-1746). Restrepo M72.4. VF Detail - Holed (PCGS).
6.73 grams. Another fully dated specimen, struck on a nice broad planchet. Light silver gray with some darker contrast in recesses, choice surfaces and metal quality. Neatly holed right of the final date digit, small enough that it could be easily missed. The FS letters and 722 are fully legible, as is the NoR mintmark, even as the extreme centers of both sides show some striking softness. The reverse shows a good shield, two denominations, and PHILIPV around the periphery. A superb example, even considering the hole, as all three Restrepo plate coins for this type are either holed or plugged.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
