Struck over Maracaibo
Ferdinand VII (1808-1833). 1/4 real. ND. Santo Domingo. (Cal-120). . 4,44 g. Struck over an 1813 Maracaibo bust Real of Ferdinand VII. Some nicks that appear to be typical of the process of re-striking. Very rare. It should be noted that the 1 real coin is much rarer than the 1⁄2 real. Only three examples are known to be un-restruck, and approximately nine examples are known to be re-struck. The coins have a very crude bust of Ferdinand VII on the obverse, and on the reverse the large letter M covering almost the entire field, with the date 1813 underneath.
The coinage is very weak and coarse, especially on the obverse. In the specimen we offer here we can see a part of the bust of Ferdinand VII. Research carried out by Luis Roberto Ponte at the Archivo General de Indias in Seville reveals that a total of 4,987 pounds (2,262 kilos), approximately 595,280 pieces (assuming they were all 1 real) were exported to Santo Domingo on 23 January 1815.
They were also Struck over an 1813 Santa Marta 1⁄4 real coinage, it is uncertain whether they belonged to the same dispatch. What is certain is that, apparently, almost all of the 1813 Maracaibo reales coinage was destined to be re-struck.
In conversation with members of the Dominican Numismatic Society, they suggested that, as there was no copper on the island to mint coins, the easiest alternative was to obtain already minted coins to be re-struck.
This is a very interesting specimen, which reveals, in a magisterial style, the difficulties of the war of independence, as well as the human creativity to adapt to them . Choice F. Est...500,00.

"Chipi-Chipi
Ferdinand VII (1808-1833). 1 real. "193" (ca. 1817-1824). Caujaral (Barinas). V. (Cal-Type 129, unlisted). (Km-Type 2, unlisted). . 1,85 g. "Chipi-Chipi". Very rare. Attractive cabinet toning. These distinctive imitation coins, known as “Chipi-Chipi,” bear fictitious three-digit dates and were struck between 1817 and 1824. Contrary to earlier claims, they circulated with a certain degree of acceptance in the territories under General José Antonio Páez in the Venezuelan Llanos. Their usage was due more to the authority and respect commanded by Páez than to any confidence in their weight or silver content.
Recent studies have shown that their silver content was not as low as previously believed. In his reference work on counterfeit cob coinages from Venezuela and Colombia, Rosenman famously labeled this type as "the unacceptable 1 real," highlighting its poor craftsmanship and questionable legitimacy.
Unlike other provincial mints that issued provisional imitation cobs during and shortly after the War of Independence, this particular issue was produced in a markedly crude fashion. Dies were locally engraved, often with randomly arranged numerals and letters, and the coins were struck without adherence to any specific weight standard. In fact, many specimens marked as “1 real” weigh closer to a half real.
Despite the large number of known dies—which suggests a relatively broad production—surviving examples are quite rare today, most likely due to contemporary rejection and subsequent melting. Choice F/AU. Est...1500,00.
