1/2 Real Pre-republican - Cundinamarca

Cundinamarca declared itself an independent state in 1811 under its own constitution, predating the broader confederation that would eventually become Gran Colombia. This half real was struck during a period of acute monetary instability, when royalist forces still controlled significant parts of New Granada and the nascent republican administration was scrambling to establish functional institutions — including a mint capable of supplying small-denomination silver for daily commerce.

The KM#D3 designation places this among the provisional pre-republican issues, distinct from later Cundinamarca types. The 1814 date falls just one year before the Spanish Reconquista under Morillo swept through the region and temporarily extinguished independent minting entirely.
