This specimen was lot 11235 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2018), where it sold for $2,160. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "COLOMBIA. 1796-JF 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Carlos IV (1788-1808). UNC Detail — Cleaned (PCGS). The 1980 RARCOA catalog description of this coin used the word "dazzling," which is not too strong to describe the extraordinary lustrous flash of this coin. Light yellow gold with a good deal of reflectivity. The hairlines are fairly modest in most regions aside from a batch in the right obverse field. A very impressive and high grade example. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins. From RARCOA's 1980 CICF sale, May 1980, lot 139." This specimen is one of a type struck at Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) and Popayan 1791-1808. The Colombian mints (Popayán and Nuevo Reino) concentrated on minting gold, to the near exclusion of the silver which predominated at the other colonial mints. While one escudos and eight escudos are plentiful, four escudos are rare. Assayer JF is recorded for 1792-1816.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.

''Specification:'' 27.07 g, .875 fine gold, .761 troy oz AGW.

''Catalog reference:'' Restrepo M98.12, KM 62.2, Fr-52.
