COLOMBIA. (1625)-H Real. Cartagena mint. Philip IV (1621-1665). Restrepo M18.1. VF-20 (PCGS).
2.90 grams. Another rare Real of Juan de la Hera, showing the I/H denomination and assayer initial on the right side of the shield complete and plain. The shield is a bit soft at the bottom, but the RN mintmark is clear to the left. The cross side is ideally centered, with attractive bright blue toning highlights on medium gray surfaces,. An attractive example, a bit more worn than others here but still one of just five in private hands.
