This specimen was lot 1278 in Sedwick Auction 37 (Winter Park, FL, May 2025), where it sold for $3,900. The catalog description[1] noted, "[[Peru|PERU]], Lima, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles III, 1773 MJ, NGC UNC details / cleaned, ex-Almenara. Choice bold strike with full rims and nice luster, very faint hairlines on obverse. Pedigreed to the Almenara Collection." The "rat nose" bust of the king used 1763-71 was superseded by this bust used from 1772 until the king's death. While this type is scarce compared to Mexican or Colombian escudos, it is much more available than any previous type. Assayers JM and MJ are known for 1773. The implementation of a new bust was the occasion for a slight debasement from 0.917 fine gold to 0.901 fine.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.

''Specification:'' 3.38 g, 0.901 fine gold.

''Catalog reference:'' [[Spanish and Spanish colonial coins listed by Cayón number|Cayón-12257]], Cal-1339; Fr-35; KM-79.
