This is one of a series struck 1760-71 during the reign of Charles III (1759-88). Gilboy[1] lists the date as very rare. The variety shown has a double arc on the right-hand pillar crown and no echinus.

The four reales is the scarcest colonial denomination although all dates are available except for the very rare 1732 and 1733 dates. Harris[2] lists the Charles III pillar four reales in order of abundance: [[Mexico]], [[Bolivia 1769-PTS JR 4 reales|Potosi]], [[Guatemala 1769-G P 4 reales|Guatemala]], [[Peru 1764-L JM 4 reales|Lima]] (scarce), Santiago (very rare). Specimens in high grade are very rare.

Mexican numismatists hotly debate which side of the coin constitutes the obverse. Gilboy[1] depicts the shield side as the obverse as that side bears the king's name. However, auction catalogs and dealer listings more frequently use the pillars and globes side as the obverse, as that side bears the date.
