Bogota, Colombia, cob 1/4 real, Philip V or Louis I, no assayer (1724-9), very rare. Restrepo-unl; KM-unl; Cal-unl. 0.74 gram. Squarish flan with bold full lion, nearly full but off-center castle with bold corded border, the castle and lion punches similar but not identical to those on the 8R of 1722, so probably struck in a different year from the previous lot, noting that 1/4R of this type were only struck in 1724, 1726 and 1729 (Barriga Vol III page 537), first example we have seen. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection.
