This specimen was lot 965 in Sedwick Treasure Auction 39 (Winter Park, FL, May 2026), where it sold for $13,200. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Chile|CHILE]], Santiago, gold bust 4 escudos, Charles III, 1781 DA, very rare, NGC AU 53, finest and only example in NGC census. Rather lustrous for the assigned grade and with bold details, slightly off-center obverse and adjustment marks on reverse, re-punched denomination 4, only the second example we have seen as from very low mintage of only 850 coins." This type was struck 1773-88 but is much rarer than the contemporary eight escudos. The government took over the mint in 1770 and enlarged it. In 1785, the alloy was debased from 0.901 to 0.875 fine gold.<br />
