COLOMBIA. Cartagena. 2 Reales Mule, ND (ca. 1814). PCGS AU-55 Gold Shield.
Restrepo-118.1a. Reverse struck with 4 Reales dies. This EXTREMELY RARE variant is listed in Restrepo as only 2 known being struck with the reverse die of a 4 Reales. Very attractive, this necessity issue exhibits the typical crude strike on a crudely made host coin with much of the undertype remaining and is clearly visible somewhat muddling the overstrikes design elements of the obverse while the reverse is much bolder. A handsome example of the type displaying a pleasing even brown patina that adds to its eye appeal and desirability.
Estimate: $1500 - $2500
