Bogota, Colombia (Cundinamarca), 2 reales, 1823 J.F, very rare, NGC VG 10 ("top pop"). Restrepo-155.8; KM-C5. Very rare "final" date of Cundinamarca coinage, ironically struck BEFORE the 1821 coins with mintmark BA (as there is a known overdate 1/3), this example with bold and lustrous legends but center of obverse very weak due to a flan-bulge, nicely toned all over, tied with one other for finest in the current NGC census and in some ways superior to the Eldorado specimen at the same grade (PCGS), which is one of just two other examples sold publicly in recent years, the other being ex-Dana Roberts / ex-Esmeralda.
