Pasto, Colombia, bust 2 reales, Ferdinand VII (bust of Charles IV), 1822 O, two dots between date and CONST. Restrepo-115.1; KM-74; Cal-894. 6.70 grams. Popular one-year issue made from Popayan-mint equipment but struck by royalists on the run somewhere closer to Ecuador (believed to be Pasto), reflected in the quality of strike but this example at least with full details, also a unique type for the Americas with CONST in legend referring to the new Constitution in Spain. Obverse cleaned, some dark encrustation in reverse fields.
