Popayan, Colombia, copper royalist 8 reales, Ferdinand VII, 1813, date on reverse, extremely rare, NGC MS 60 Brown, finest and only example in NGC census, ex-Portola. Restrepo-121.2; Cal-1372; KM-unl. Rusty red toning over luster, with under-sized design rather dissimilar to the other variety (see previous lot) and with tulip edge instead of circle-and-square, still believed to be struck by patriots using royalist design in 1813 only, this example one of only five or six we can trace (Restrepo says two known and speculates it was a pattern). Pedigreed to the Gregorio Toulemonde Collection (stated on label) and to the Gaspar de Portola Collection (Aureo & Calico auction of January 2018, lot 8).
