COLOMBIA. Cartagena. 2 Reales Mule, ND (ca. 1814). PCGS AU-55 Gold Shield. Restrepo-118.1a. Reverse struck with 4 Reales dies. This <strong>EXTREMELY</strong> <strong>RARE</strong> variant is listed in Restrepo as only 2 known being struck with the reverse die of a 4 Reales. Very attractive, this necessity issue exhibits the typical crude strike on a crudely made host coin with much of the undertype remaining and is clearly visible somewhat muddling the overstrikes design elements of the obverse while the reverse is much bolder. A handsome example of the type displaying a pleasing even brown patina that adds to its eye appeal and desirability.
