COLOMBIA. 1819-FJ 2 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Ferdinand VII (1808-1833). Restrepo 113.9a. MS-62 (PCGS).
Wide date. Bust of Carlos IV. A remarkable grade rarity in the series, likely the finest known example of the type. Nearly complete luster persists across the frosty surfaces, lightly toned in golden shades over brilliant silver. Both sides are free of problems, though some flat striking is seen within the upper castle quadrant on the reverse. The dies are clashed and in a late, fatigued die state, showing cracks in the left reverse legend and left of the crown. The centering is good and the eye appeal is superb. The Normal Date Murias example was likewise Mint State, but not as nice as this. This is the only Colombian portrait 2 Reales certified in any Mint State grade by PCGS.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $1000.00- $2000.00
