VENEZUELA. Caracas. Imitative Cob 2 Reales, "(1)781" (ca. early 19th Century). NGC Unc Details--Planchet Flaw. KM-C-13.1. Despite bearing the fictitious partial date of "781," this imitative issue emanates from a series of minors from the early 19th century. Usually encountered in lower states of preservation, this virtually unhandled example remains free from wear, though garners a details designation on account of its obvious planchet flaw that has resulted in a hole near the bottom. From the David Sterling Collection.
