Newp - Cartagena 1/2 real with cool design variety

Cartagena, Colombia 1/2 real (1811) no date on die type. It's actually relatively well struck and detailed for this horribly crude type. The design also has a variation with what appear to be a series of rings below the seated figure's butt, something I haven't seen on any other examples so far.


Highly enthusiastic about world coins, contemporary circulating counterfeits and unusual stuff <3

    Any provenance known on the coin? Any parts of the action scene brought forward onto subsequent Colombian coinage? Peace Roy

    No provenance noted, not even an ID. Purchased from a local auction as an unidentified coin. Wasn't exactly cheap even then though :|
