Bogota, Colombia, bust 1/2 real, Charles III, 1772VJ, rare, Restrepo plate coin. KM-45.1; Restrepo-32.1; CT-1824. 1.6 grams. Bold XF with light toning around details, slightly grainy reverse (as made), no problems, a very nice specimen of a key rarity, quite worthy of its Restrepo-reference pedigree (pictured 3 times normal size on page 170 of his book). Curiously, the denomination on this first issue is shown as 1 with a horizontal bar through the middle. Plate coin in Restrepo's Monedas de Colombia (2009). Jorge Ortiz Murias collection of Colombian colonial minors.
