| Additional information |
Carlos III's accession in 1759 triggered a cascade of re-tooling at colonial mints as they updated dies to reflect the new monarch. Santa Fe de Bogotá was among the slower mints to adapt, and 1760 transitional issues from this facility are frequently found with inconsistent die alignment — a product of hasty preparation rather than chronic incompetence. The mint had been re-established in New Granada only decades earlier after a long period of operating under Lima's administrative shadow.
KM#34 pieces from this year tend to show flat areas on the cross side attributable to the cob-style planchet preparation still in use at this facility.
