COLOMBIA. 1773-VJ 2 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo 42.4. F-12 (PCGS).
As choice and original as could be hoped for, with deep gray toning and golden highlights across both sides enriched with darker tones and old encrustation around the peripheries. Nicely centered, though the denticles are mostly absent at the right side of the obverse and left side of the reverse. Nearly identical in sharpness to the Murias coin, which brought $4,255, though we prefer the surfaces of this coin. A very elusive date, particularly in decent grade.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
