COLOMBIA. Cartagena. Cob "1/4 Real", ND (ca. 1813-15). Salazar de las Palmas Mint. PCGS VF-30.
cf. KM-B8 (for prototype); cf. Cal-325 (same); EMO-308.1 (R5). Imitative issue. Featuring a somewhat cruder rendition of the royal monogram of Philip, along with the addition of a row of five barred I's indicative of his ordinal number (V), this interesting issue imitates the regal coinage from nearly a century prior, it being a private issue from the mint at Salazar de las Palmas. Furthering its intrigue is the fact that, though the prototype is that of a 1/2 Real, though the weight here is half that, indicative more of a 1/4 Real.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
