This specimen was lot 2023 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $2,040. The catalog description[1] noted, "Wholesome and Desirable Transitional Bust 4 Escudos, CHILE. 4 Escudos, 1790-So DA. Santiago Mint. Charles IV. NGC EF Details--Obverse Cleaned. The only example certified of the date on either the NGC or PCGS population reports. Second year of issue for this three-year transitional bust type with the bust of Charles III, but in the name of Charles IV (ordinal IV). This wholesome moderately worn survivor exhibits a bold strike with honest even wear offering much originality and eye appeal. The exposed fields and edges of the designs to the right of the bust are a bit brighter indicative of a past cleaning, accounting for the details designation, but is hardly a distraction for this EXTREMELY RARE issue. Despite its shortcomings this handsome, original looking and seldom encountered issue offers a pleasing appearance. From the Pat Johnson Collection. Acquired via private treaty from Mike Dunigan."
