Remarkably high grade for this issue or any other 1/2 Real of Carlos IV from this mint. Choice original gray and gold surfaces retain abundant remaining luster and extremely sharp details. Well struck and well centered with no problems. The obverse legends are connected by a die crack between 4:00 and 9:00. Far finer than the Murias coin and the Restrepo plate, this is undoubtedly among the finest survivors of the date and type. It is the single finest graded 1/2 Real of Carlos IV certified by PCGS. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
