Charles III "Pillar" Real 1760 NR-JV Fine Details (Cleaned) NGC, Nuevo Reino mint, KM34, Restrepo-36.1. The minor "pillar type" coins struck in Nuevo Reino are deemed one of the more desirable rarities from the Spanish Colonial series. Only two denominations were issued (½ Real and 1 Real, both dated 1760) with a total confirmed population of less than fifteen examples (the ½ Real being currently unique and impounded in a major collection). Most of the surviving specimens (struck from the same pair of dies, as could be expected since obviously struck in very limited numbers) of the very rare 1 Real 1760 NR-JV are worn and/or impaired. The piece at hand is a sturdy survivor, obviously well-struck and now evenly worn, appearing with a better overall appearance than one would expect from the grade.
