The specimen shown was lot 175 in Aureo y Calico sale 232 (Barcelona, March 2011), where it sold for 120 euros (about $198 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''1707. Barcelona. 2 reales. Bella. Rara y más así. EBC.'' (Two reales of 1707, Barcelona mint. Beautiful and rare thus, extremely fine.)</blockquote>  This type was issued in Barcelona 1707-14 on behalf of the Austrian archduke Charles, who as Charles III contended unsuccessfully with Philip V for the throne of [[Spain]]. It is fairly common in circulated condition and lists for less than the [[Spain 1718-Seg J 2 reales|contemporary issues]] of Philip V.
