Popayan, Colombia, 1/2 real, date not visible (1844-48), assayer UE, NGC Genuine / holed / SS Central America Shipwreck Label. Restrepo-178; KM-96.2. Very rare type that was legal tender in the United States up until February 1857. Foreign coins like this were pocket change held by actual passengers aboard the SS Central America. Well circulated and holed, though free from any major saltwater effects, first example that we have seen from this wreck. Recovered from: S.S. Central America, sunk in 1857 in deep water off North Carolina
