This specimen was lot 308 in Áureo y Calicó sale 347 (Barcelona, March 2020), where it sold for €200 (about US$264 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"1808. Carlos IV. Segovia. 8 maravedís. Bella. Rara así. EBC+. (kingdom of Spain, Charles IV, eight maravedis of 1808, Segovia mint. Nice, rare thus, choice extremely fine.)"
The Spanish mints feature large issues of a variety of copper coins which did not circulate at all in the Spanish American colonies. In the predecimal system which obtained until 1847, 34 maravedis = one real of silver. This eight maravedis was worth 1/17 of a dollar; history does not record the reason for the odd division. This type was struck in Segovia 1788-1808 and was accompanied by copper one, two and four maravedis. The type is not rare but scarce in nice condition.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: copper, this specimen 11,68 g.
