This specimen was lot 23617 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2020), where it sold for $480. The catalog description[1] noted, "SPAIN. Real, 1832-S JB. Seville Mint. Ferdinand VII. PCGS MS-65 Gold Shield. A sharply struck and lustrous example, giving the appearance of a freshly minted coin." This type was struck in Madrid 1815-33, in Seville (shown here) 1830-33 and in Cadiz 1813 only. Lower in fineness than contemporary Latin American issues, they were discounted in international trade. Tho priced fairly cheaply in the SCWC, this type is very difficult to find at U. S. coin shows.
