This specimen was part of lot 30414 in Heritage sale 3081 (New York, January 2020), which sold for $3,360. The catalog description[1] noted, "Cuba, Republic Pair of Certified gold Proof "Triumph of the Revolution" Multiple Pesos 1988 Ultra Cameo NGC, 1) 50 Pesos - PR69. 2) 100 Pesos - PR70, KM 204. Mintage: 100. Both included issues are struck in commemoration of the end of the Cuban Revolution (1959), produced in low mintages of 150 and 100 examples. From the El Don Diego Luna Collection." The year 1988 saw the release of many self-congratulatory NCLT's by the Cuban regime. Greeted by disinterest from the world at large, many are now rare.
Recorded mintage: 150 proofs.
Specification: 15.55 g, 0.999 fine gold, 0.500 troy oz AGW.
Catalog reference: KM 210, Fr-19.
