COLOMBIA. Cundinamarca. 1815-JF 2 Reales. Bogotá mint. Restrepo 137.1. AU-58+ (PCGS).NVEBA spelling on the reverse. A superlative example of this rare and historically important 2 Reales, a candidate for finest known. Lustrous golden gray with excellent dusky originality and no notable problems. Soundly struck and very well detailed on both sides. A bit of harmless residue is present at AM of AMERICANA, harming nothing. Rare in any grade, this example is of similar quality to the Lissner example that sold for over $10,000. A special prize in this grade, and with an old and outstanding provenance.From Christies (Dallas) sale of the Norweb Collection, November 1985, lot 722. Earlier, from the Virgil Brand Collection.
