Cartagena, Colombia, copper "imitation cob" 2 reales, fantasy date "800" (ca. 1815), struck over Cartagena Republican copper 2 reales (1813-14), rare. Restrepo-118.1. 4.74 grams. This strange, ephemeral Royalist issue was struck from dies made to look like a Lima 2 reales over a provisional independent Cartagena 2 reales of 1813-14 (Restrepo-136), the present specimen with traces of the undercoin visible through full details on both sides (pillars and cross, the latter with lions and castles transposed as usual), dark XF with spots of black toning.
