COLOMBIA. 1799-JJ 1/2 Real. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos IV (1788-1808). Restrepo 77.7. VG-8 (PCGS).
Attractive light silver with some minor scattered hairlines. Far finer than the grade indicated, but suffering from a die failure on the obverse that has caused most of the center to lose its detail. The Murias coin brought a surprising $5,175 in 2012, the highest price of any Carlos IV 1/2 Real in the collection, which included every date listed by Restrepo. Calicó ranks this date as tied for rarest in the short Bogotá Carlos IV 1/2 Real series.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $400.00- $800.00
