This specimen is one of a series struck 1760-72 during the reign of Charles III (1759-88). No varieties are noted for the date. As a class, pillar coinage of Peru is much less plentiful than that of Mexico, tho it is more available than the remaining mints. Harris[2] encountered about one-third as many Peru pillar four reales of Charles III as that of Mexico; Gilboy[1] assigns the date an R3 rating (two dozen or less known to exist) and even the commonest date (1772) is called "scarce." Despite this, the SCWC prices this type lower than four reales of Mexico or Bolivia.
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.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
