This specimen was lot 3439 in Goldberg sale 104 (Los Angeles, June 2018), where it sold for $2,040. The catalog description^[1] noted, "Canada. 350 Dollars, 1998. Elizabeth II. Reverse: Flowers.

The profits extracted from the manufacture and sale of NCLT's caused the Royal Canadian Mint to scramble for ever more arcane topics, including this self-celebrating one touting the mint's 90th anniversary.
