This specimen was lot 31047 in Heritage auction 3096 (Dallas, TX, March 2021), where it sold for $2,760. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Falkland Islands]]: British Colony. Elizabeth II gold Proof "Golden Jubilee - Queen & Treehouse" 50 Pence 2002 PR70 Ultra Cameo NGC. A very scarce issue split between plain and multi-colored bunting, this Golden Jubilee representative features images of the Queen and a treehouse. Seldom seen on the market, this specimen is currently the lone example graded by NGC. From the Paramount Collection." This is one in a series of NCLT's issued in this format, all struck in copper-nickel, silver and gold. Some were issued in plain metal and others were multicolored. Only 3,400 people live in the Falklands so it seems unlikely that this coin circulated there.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown but common in copper-nickel, 25,000 in silver and 50 in gold.

''Specification:'' KM 84: 28.28 g, copper-nickel, 38.6 mm diameter; KM 84a: 28.28 g, 0.925 fine silver; KM 84b: 39.94 g, 0.917 fine gold, AGW 1.1775 oz.
