Sincona sale 6, lot 3936

This specimen was lot 3936 in Sincona sale 6 (Zürich, May 2012), where it sold for 375 CHF (about US$461 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"SPANIEN Carlos IV. 1788-1808. 4 Reales 1804, Madrid. Mmz. FA. Vorzüglich-FDC. (Spain, Charles IV, 1788-1808, four reales of 1804, madrid mint. Extremely fine to uncirculated)"

This type was struck in Madrid 1788-97, 1804-08 and in Seville 1803 and 1807. Its specification is the same as Latin American four reales yet, like most metropolitan Spanish coinage of Charles IV, it is much scarcer. The design is also distinctly different.

Recorded mintage: unknown.
