This specimen was lot 11064 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2018), where it sold for $3,120. The catalog description[1] noted, "COLOMBIA. 1693-VA 4 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos II (1665-1700). Restrepo M60.16. F-12 (PCGS). 12.96 grams. Nice medium silver gray with good contrast provided by darker toning in the recesses. The obverse is aligned too far left to permit the assayer to be visible, but the date is complete and the mintmark is clear. The reverse shield is ideally centered, filling the taut planchet, though the top two quadrants are softly defined. The planchet size and style match the Restrepo plate piece, which actually appears to share an identical pillars-side die, though that piece is aligned to show the assayer mark and leave the date unstruck. An elusive piece in a fine state of preservation. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins."

KM 11, struck 1666-1701, 1693-NR VA listed.
