This specimen was lot 11339 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2018), where it sold for $5,520. The catalog description[1] noted, "COLOMBIA. 1789-JJ/VJ 4 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos IV (1788-1808). Restrepo M91.1b. AU-53 (PCGS). Carlos III portrait. JJ/VJ reverse, no over ordinal on obverse. A rare variety, using the same reverse die as the issues from 1770 onward, but struck from an obverse without the IV ordinal punched over III as described by Restrepo. Frosty and lustrous light yellow gold with excellent aesthetic appeal and detail. Some old hairlines are noted in the lower right reverse, and a batch of adjustment marks are present beneath the right side of the crown. An important example of a scarce issue. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins. From American Numismatic Rarities' sale of the Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection, April 2005, lot 1511. Earlier, from the John H. Clapp Collection; Clapp Estate to Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr., 1942."
KM 52.1, Fr-45.
