COLOMBIA. 1822-O 2 Reales. Pasto mint. Ferdinand VII (1808-1833). Restrepo 115.2. VF-35 (PCGS).
Bust of Carlos IV. "Normal strike," one pellet after date. Misattributed by PCGS. A particularly nice example of this more refined die variety of the Pasto Royalist issue. Choice medium gray with traces of luster and a well-centered strike. The portrait is bolder than usually seen, and despite the softness in the quadrants of the shield, it too is far sharper than typical. No problems are noted aside from some green specks on the surface near the king's forehead and G - ET. A very high grade and well made example, probably among the best examples of this variety known.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $300.00- $600.00
