Cartagena, Colombia, copper "imitation cob" 2 reales, fantasy date "800" (ca. 1815), struck over State of Cartagena provisional 2 reales dated 1814, rare, NGC VF 35 BN. Restrepo-118.1; Cal-unl; KM-unl. Rare type issued by Viceroy Montalvo, highly desirable example for the fact that so much of the host's original obverse is visible, including the full date 1814 and CARTAGENA on the pillars side, with the fantasy date 800 of the new design also full and clear, very dark but with reddish fields. (Note the NGC label attributes it to Cartagena 1814 without mention of the overstrike, also it was graded long ago and now is possibly closer to AU by today's standards.) Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection.
($1000-1500)
