This specimen was lot 641 in Áureo y Calicó sale 345 (Barcelona, March 2020), where it sold for €70 (about US$92 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"1832. Fernando VII. Madrid. AJ. 1/2 real. Rayita. Atractiva. Ex Colección Manuela Etcheverría. EBC-. (kingdom of Spain, Ferdinand VII, half real of 1832, Madrid mint. Scratch, attractive, about extremely fine.)"

This type was struck in Madrid (shown here) 1815-33, in Seville 1825 and 1831-33 and in Cadiz 1814 only. Lower in fineness than contemporary Latin American issues, they were discounted in international trade. Tho priced fairly cheaply in the SCWC, this type is very difficult to find at U. S. coin shows.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 1.69 g, 0.812 fine silver, this specimen 1,54 g.

Catalog reference: KM 482.2, Cayón-15199, Cal-1331.
