COLOMBIA. (1651)-R Real. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Philip IV (1621-1665). Restrepo M24.1. EF-40 (PCGS).
3.02 grams. Mottled light and dark gray toning on the obverse, more even golden gray on the reverse, with brighter toning highlights in recesses. PLVS N and the pillars are nicely defined on the obverse, and the denomination and assayer are clear on either side of the shield on the reverse. A good deal of unstruck metal surrounds the centers. A nice looking piece despite its uneven strike.
