COLOMBIA, Popayán, ½ real, 1862/48, NGC AU details / cleaned, finest and only example in NGC census, ex-Toulemonde. Restrepo-180; KM-unl. Bold and well-detailed strike (including rims, also clear overdate) with light rainbow toning over luster, faint hairlines. As explained in Restrepo, the design of this coin is for the Republic of New Granada (which it was in 1848), but the new date of 1862 places it under the United States of Colombia, under which the denomination would have been ½ décimo instead of ½ real as stated on the coin. Pedigreed to the Gregorio Toulemonde Collection (stated on label).
