Ponterio sale 150, lot 9310

This coin was lot 9310 in Ponterio sale 150 (Los Angeles, August 2009), where it sold for $8,050. The catalog description[1] noted, "COLOMBIA. 8 Reales, 1651-PoRMS. Bogotá Mint. Philip IV (1621-65). Ex: Calico. Hammered for $9,500 in the Millennium Sale. RARE. NGC AU-55." The type was struck in Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) in Nueva Granada (now Colombia) 1651-65 but is now rare. As is typical of cobs, the majority lack legible dates. The Cartagena mint, during its brief period of operation, struck some in 1655; these are very rare. The production of cobs continued sporadically into the 1740's. It was superseded by milled pillar coinage.

Recorded mintage: Unknown.
