Popayan, Colombia, bust 8 reales, 1813/2 J.F, very rare, NGC VF 35, finest and only example in NGC census. Restrepo-120.4; KM-71; Cal-1364. Deeply toned with hint of luster in fields, struck on a broad flan with full rims, even honest wear on high points, no major marks or flaws, very attractive, once considered the finest known until the Eldorado piece in PCGS AU50 sold in 2018, still a choice example of a very rare overdate (Restrepo says "about eight are known") from a generally rare and highly desirable ten-year type that represents the only bust-type crowns of Colombia. NGC #4330858-001. Pedigreed to the Superior auction of December 1990 (lot 606).
($8000-12000)
