This specimen was lot 474 in Aureo y Calicó sale 261 (Barcelona, July 2014), where it sold for €420 (about US$674 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"1775. Carlos III. Madrid. PJ. 4 escudos. Pátina. MBC-/MBC. (Charles III, 1759-88, four escudos of 1775, Madrid mint. Toned, about very fine.)"
This type was struck in Madrid 1772-85 (KM 418.1) and Seville 1772-85 (KM 418.2). The Spanish four escudos of Charles III are more available than eight escudos of the same period. It is distinguished by later issues of Charles III (1785-88) by being .901 fine instead of .875 fine gold. Four escudos prior to this type are all rare.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 13.54 g, .901 fine gold, .392 troy oz AGW.
