Bogota, Colombia, pillar 1/2 real, Charles III, 1760 J.V, extremely rare, NGC Good details. Restrepo-30.1; Cal-268; KM-A45; Gilboy-B05.60; Yonaka-B05.60. Nicely toned, and with clear date and mintmark and assayer but most of the rest of the coin weakly struck and worn, also with horizontal crease-marks above center and stripped hole at top. Despite its condition, this is a very desirable coin, not just for the fact that it is the only pillar-type 1/2 real of Colombia, but also because it is the only one of just two in existence that is not already institutionally impounded, the other (ex-Ortiz, ex-Eldorado) residing permanently in the Banco Central Museum in Bogota. Pedigreed to the Gregorio Toulemonde Collection (stated on label).
