Ecuador
Quito, Ecuador, 1/2 real, 1833/2GJ, denomination oM-R, NGC VF 30, finest and only example in NGC census.KM-unl (12.1 for type).Bold strike (much less crude than most of this type) on a broad flan that extends well past the outer border, darkly toned, the overdate quite clear. As discussed in Xavier Alban's article "Ecuadorian Trial Coin Dated 1832" in the May-June 2018 NI Bulletin, there is ample evidence that 1/2-real coins were struck on at least a trial basis in 1832 (possibly even as regular issues in the last two days of that year), and a few examples are known (like this coin) with 1832 die modified by overdate 3/2, previously unlisted in general references like KM but now acknowledged by the grading services and auction companies and listed as #15a in the book Ecuadorian Coins (2019), by Dale Seppa and Michael J. Anderson.With copy of Seppa and Anderson's book Ecuadorian Coins (2019).
Estimate: 300-450 USD
