COLOMBIA. 1819-FJ Real. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Ferdinand VII (1808-1833). Restrepo 111.18. AU Detail - Scratch (PCGS).
Bust of Carlos IV. Inverted J. Lustrous and spectacularly toned with red, gold, and green around the rims. Two short vertical scratches in the left obverse field match two on either side of the right pillar on the reverse. A couple minor abrasions are seen above DEI, where the centering hasn't allowed the denticles to rise to a protective rim. The reverse is better centered, and shows denticles around its entire circumference. A very sharp and pleasing example of this last date in the series, struck from the reverse with the interesting inverted J in the FJ assayer initials.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $300.00- $600.00
