This specimen was lot 11203 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2018), where it sold for $1,740. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "COLOMBIA. 1782-SF 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M73.31. AU-55 (PCGS). Lustrous and sharp, with medium yellow gold toning on the obverse and lighter yellow gold on the reverse with an olive tint. Very attractive for the grade, showing scattered lines and chatter but nothing serious. Two light abrasions in the right obverse only turn up under a magnification. A very pleasing specimen overall. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins. From Christie's Geneva sale of the Kurt Homme Collection, November 25-26, 1981, lot 738." This "standard bust" eight escudos, struck 1772-84, superseded the "rat nose" bust used at Bogotá 1762-71. The Popayán mint also adopted the new bust, dropping the old bust of the prior king, Ferdinand VI, used until 1771. The type marked a debasement from .917 fine to .901 fine gold.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.

''Specification:'' 27.07 g, .901 fine gold, .784 troy oz AGW.

''Catalog reference:'' KM 50.2, Fr-36, Restrepo M73.28.
