COLOMBIA. 1777-JJ 1/2 Real. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo 32.9. G-6 (PCGS).
Light silver gray with delicate peripheral toning around the obverse and across the reverse. Some light hairline scratches are seen under magnification on the obverse, along with a single nick at center. While much of the detail is gone because of wear, this obverse die is also failing, taking much of the detail on the right side of the portrait with it. This die state is a bit later than the Iriarte-Murias coin, with more advanced swelling beneath RA of GRATIA. This failing obverse probably helped make this date one of the rarities in the series.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
