Aureo sale 243, lot 788

This specimen was lot 788 in Aureo y Calicó sale 243 (Barcelona, April 2012), where it sold for 1,400 € (about US$2,115 including buyer's fees). The catalog[1] noted,

"1795. Carlos IV. Madrid. MF. 4 escudos. Insignificante golpecito. Bellísima. Brillo original. Muy rara así. S/C. (four escudos of 1795, Madrid mint. Tiny nicks, very handsome, original luster, very rare thus, about uncirculated.)"

It is one of a series minted at Madrid 1788-1803 for Charles IV. The type is not cheap but quite a bit more available than the very rare eight escudos.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 13.54 g, 0.875 fine gold, .380 troy oz AGW.

Catalog reference: Cayón-14355, KM 436.1, Cal. 204.
