This specimen was lot 33581 in Heritage sale 3067 (Long Beach, September 2018), where it sold for $384. The catalog description[1] noted, "Belize: Elizabeth II gold Proof 100 Dollars 1985 FM-(P) PR68 Ultra Cameo NGC, Franklin mint. A resoundingly lustrous gem, with deep mirrored fields, and and overall presentation that is nearing perfection. From the Feeling Good Collection." This is another Non-Circulating Legal Tender coin issued and marketed by the Franklin mint on behalf of Belize before it withdrew from coinage operations in 1985. For some reason, the Franklin Mint issued this in 12 karat gold.
Recorded mintage: 899.
