Bogota, Colombia, pillar 8 reales, Ferdinand VI, 1759 JV, very rare, NGC AU 55, Calbeto Plate, ex-Ortiz, ex-Tauler. Restrepo-10.1; Cal-539; KM-33; Gilboy-B8.59; Yonaka-B8.59. Choice full strike with lovely deep toning all over, practically no luster and with a few minor issues on rims but only minimal high-point wear and no marks, a well-pedigreed piece that has been off the market for almost a decade, one of just fifteen to twenty known that represent the only date and denomination of the Ferdinand VI pillar type and the first milled "dollar" of Colombia. Pedigreed to the Gregorio Toulemonde Collection (stated on label), the Emilio Ortiz Collection (Swiss Bank Corp. auction of September 1991, lot 218) and the Rafael Tauler Fesser Collection (Ibercoin auction of December 2014, lot 3370), and Plate Coin 1367 on page 389 of Gabriel Calbeto's Compendio de las Piezas de Ocho Reales (1970).
