COLOMBIA. 1818-FJ Real. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Ferdinand VII (1808-1833). Restrepo 111.13 unlisted. G-6 (PCGS).
Bust of Carlos IV. Inverted J. An apparently unlisted variety, struck from the reverse with the upside down J of the assayer initials that is well known (and listed) for 1819. Evenly worn, a little granular and showing a scattering of hairlines on both sides. Both sides are aligned to 12:00, with the reverse showing an especially long offering of denticles at the base of that side. A fascinating variety, neither listed by Restrepo nor collected by Murias. This should not be confused with the FJ / JJ variety that is listed for this year, and comparison with the lot that follows will show that they are struck from the same reverse die.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $150.00- $300.00
