This specimen was lot 33419 in Heritage sale 3064 (Chicago, April 2018), where it sold for $336. The catalog description[1] noted, "Portuguese Colony silver Proof 100 Patacas 1978 PR68 Ultra Cameo NGC. Grand Prix issue displaying decals on the car." This commemorative, one of the first issued by this Portuguese, colony, honored the 25th Grand Prix race in Macao. Originally issued with advertising logos on the car (shown here), it was withdrawn and reissued without the logos (KM 11, m. 5,500), but enough were saved that this type commands only a slight premium.
Recorded mintage: 610 proofs.
Specification: 28.28 g, 0.925 fine silver.
Catalog reference: KM 10.
