COLOMBIA. 1781-JJ 1/2 Real. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo 32.11. G-6 (PCGS).
Choice golden gray with darker toning at peripheries, about as attractive and problem free as possible at this grade level. Similar to the preceding 1777 issue, the obverse die is failing and shows swelling in the right obverse field that affects the profile. The detail here is nearly identical to the Murias coin, whose grade of "Fine" was perhaps a more appropriate descriptor of wear and quality than the grade PCGS has assigned here. The Murias coin brought $1,955 in 2012. Restrepo lists this date as "very rare."
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
