This specimen was lot 823 in Aureo y Calicó sale 243 (Barcelona, April 2012), where it sold for 1,200 € (about US$1,813 including buyer's fees). The catalog[1] noted,
"1797. Carlos IV. Potosí. PP. 8 escudos. Levísima hojita en reverso. Bella. Brillo original. Rara así. EBC. (Eight escudos of 1797, Potosí mint. Reverse rim nick, very nice, original luster, rare thus, extremely fine.)"
While silver coins from Bolivia exist in vast quantities, gold from Bolivia is scarce. For the colonial period, Colombia may be regarded as the most prolific issuer, followed by Mexico, followed by Peru. Bolivia, Chile and Guatemala are minor sources. This type was minted 1791-1808 and is scarce.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
