Lot 32842 > Santa Marta. Provisional Fantasy Cob 2 Reales (Macuquinas) 931 M-L XF Details (Edge Filing) NGC, Santa Marta mint, KM-Unl. (cf. KM-C12 for Real), Stohr-Unl., OAV-Unl. (see note on pg. 24). 3.89gm. The rarest date of this puzzling provisional coinage produced during the Venezuelan War for Independence, with most scholars assigning the type to Viceroy Montalvo in Santa Marta c. 1813. Believed to have only survived in the low single digits--around 7 to 8 pieces--the present specimen represents a comparatively high-grade survivor, with the finest certified example being a mere AU50. Of enormous significance for the serious collector of early Venezuelan coinage, and only the fourth example that has come to auction in recent decades.
