Bogota, Colombia (Cundinamarca), 2 reales, 1823 J.F, very rare, NGC VG 8, finest and only example in NGC census, ex-Dana Roberts (stated on label), ex-Esmeralda. Restrepo-155.8; KM-C5. Very rare "final" date of Cundinamarca coinage, ironically struck BEFORE the 1821 coins with mintmark BA (as the overdate 1/3 exists), this example with bold and lustrous legends but center of obverse very weak due to a flan-bulge, nicely toned all over with hints of luster, in some ways superior to the Eldorado specimen at the same grade (PCGS), which is the only other example sold publicly in recent years. NGC #5937428-005. Pedigreed to the Esmeralda Collection (stated on special label) and to the Dana Roberts collection (Heritage auction of April 2011, lot 25490).
