Bogota, Colombia, cob 2 reales, 1662, very rare. S-B7; KM-6.3. 6.8 grams. Choice, perfectly round specimen with full but slightly doubled inner details and much legend, best of all being the full 1662 date (also king's ordinal IIII), which proves that this one-year variety is indeed a 1662 and not a 1652, which it emulates in style (for everything else after 1652 shows the date vertically outside the pillars instead), richly toned VF, a totally new piece to the market that should elicit excitement among Colombian numismatists.
