COLOMBIA. 1792-JJ 2 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos IV (1788-1808). Restrepo 80.1. EF Detail - Cleaned (PCGS).
Boldly struck on a broad but poorly made planchet showing light granularity throughout, scattered pitting in areas, and truly dramatic laminations below the shield on the reverse. Other lamination fissures cross the reverse elsewhere, including a dropped lamination that affects the N of NR. A rim defect above 2R on the reverse appears to have happened post-striking. Very sharp, far better detailed than most of this type and significantly finer than the Murias specimen in that regard. The substantial die crack seen on that coin is only barely visible here, detected under magnification near the eye and nose.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
