| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse displays a bold quartered cross whose arms frame the inscription 'PLVS VLTRA' arranged across the field, with mint and assayer marks 'L' and 'M' flanking the legend and the numerals '800' appearing in the lower portion, referencing the fineness or monetary valuation conventions of the host coin. The numeral '2' is prominently struck at the top of the field. The overall strike is crude and irregular, typical of this emergency siege coinage counterstamped over earlier Cartagena provisional issues of 1813–1814. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Cartagena de Indias declared independence from Spain in November 1811, and by 1815 the city was under brutal siege by a royalist expeditionary force of over 10,000 men under Pablo Morillo. Cut off by land and sea for more than three months, the city's garrison and civilian population faced starvation before finally capitulating in December 1815. These emergency copper pieces — struck in the besieged city using whatever metal was available — bear Ferdinand VII's name despite the fact that the city was actively fighting against his restoration.
Restrepo 118.1 is the primary catalogued variety. The political irony of a republican siege coinage invoking the Spanish king's name was not unusual; legitimist titulature persisted on many insurgent issues simply because no alternative monetary vocabulary had yet been established.
