Santa Marta (Royalist), Colombia, copper 1/2 real, Ferdinand VII, 1813, very rare. R-109.1; KM-C3. 1.2 grams. This small, crude coin with portrait on obverse and bold date on reverse is very important as the only issue of Colombia or Venezuela (possibly struck in Caracas) with the bust of Ferdinand VII (albeit an imaginary one). This specimen, VF+ and almost perfectly round, is exceptional compared to the others known. Note KM does not give values beyond VG grade, which it values at $2,500.
