This specimen was lot 11169 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2018), where it sold for $4,800. The catalog description[1] noted, "COLOMBIA. 1769-V 8 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M71.16. EF-45 (PCGS). Lovely medium yellow gold with darker toning around design elements and legends. Excellent aesthetic appeal for the grade, with no flaw worse than the minor nick on the king's jaw. The obverse lacks denticles from 9:00 to 1:00, while on the reverse the denticles are missing at just the top. A thin lamination fissure crosses from the collar to the assayer initial. A really handsome example of this scarce issue, the only one of the series with the lone assayer initial V. Calicó called this variety "extremely rare." From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins. From Hans M.F. Schulman, October 1969."
KM 41, Fr-31, assayer V, JV.
