This specimen was lot 11359 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2018), where it sold for $1,080. The catalog description^[1] noted, "COLOMBIA. 1807-JJ 4 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos IV (1788-1808). Restrepo M93.26. AU Detail — Cleaned (PCGS). Medium yellow gold with a natural appearance and good luster, though subtle hairlines are seen, particularly in the reverse fields. The obverse die is cracked through G of DG into the center of the portrait. Well centered and quite bold, this is a fine example of the final date of this design type. Restrepo singles this date out as a rarity, but all Carlos IV 4 Escudos from Santa Fe are quite elusive. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins. From Don Canaparo, January 1981. From Calicó, Barcelona, May 1968."
