This specimen was lot 1283 in Sedwick Auction 37 (Winter Park, FL, May 2025), where it sold for $1,200. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Peru|PERU]], Lima, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles III, 1779 MJ, NGC UNC details / rim filing, ex-Almenara. Super sharp details with choice full luster, slightly crude rims (as made) with hint of filing near top on reverse, a lovely example regardless. 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 The "rat nose" bust of the king used 1763-71 was superseded by this bust used from 1772 until the king's death.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. Assayer MJ is listed for 1773-80. 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-12294]], Cal-1345; Fr-35; KM-79.
