This specimen was lot 2013 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $10,800. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Bolivia|BOLIVIA]]. 4 Escudos, 1783/2/1-PTS PR. Potosi Mint. Charles III. NGC AU-55. The only certified example of the date on either NGC or PCGS population reports. This VERY RARE issue, with clear double overdate (3/2/1), exhibits light signs of handling consistent for the grade offering a bold even strike with plenty of remaining satiny luster. Hints of flashiness in the protected areas pop out when rotated in the light complemented by a pleasing honey-gold coloration. An attractive example of this tough type that is wholly original looking with good eye appeal. From the Pat Johnson Collection. Purchased privately from Richard Ponterio circa 1982." While silver coins from [[Bolivia]] exist in vast quantities, gold from Bolivia is scarce. For the colonial period, [[Colombia]] may be regarded as the most prolific issuer, followed by [[Mexico]], followed by [[Peru]]. Bolivia, [[Chile]] and [[Guatemala]] are minor sources. This type was minted 1778-85 and is rare. It is distinguished by later issues of Charles III (1785-88) by being .901 fine instead of .875 fine gold.

''Recorded mintage:'' limonite.

''Specification:'' 13.53 g, .901 fine gold, .393 troy oz AGW.

''Catalog reference:'' Fr-2; KM-58; cf. Cal-1848, [[Spanish and Spanish colonial coins listed by Cayón number|Cayón-12691]].
