This specimen was lot 34389 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Chicago, August 2022), where it sold for $1,140. The catalog description[1] noted, "COLOMBIA. Cartagena. Cob '1/4 Real', ND (ca. 1813-15). Salazar de las Palmas Mint. PCGS VF-30. Imitative issue. Featuring a somewhat cruder rendition of the royal monogram of Philip, along with the addition of a row of five barred I's indicative of his ordinal number (V), this interesting issue imitates the regal coinage from nearly a century prior, it being a private issue from the mint at Salazar de las Palmas. Furthering its intrigue is the fact that, though the prototype is that of a 1/2 Real, though the weight here is half that, indicative more of a 1/4 Real."

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver.

Catalog reference: Cayón-unlisted, cf. KM-B8 (for prototype); cf. Cal-325 (same); EMO-308.1 (R5).
