This specimen was lot 70614 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, June 2021), where it sold for $2,040. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "COOK ISLANDS. 250 Dollars, 1996. NGC PROOF-69 Ultra Cameo. Yellowstone National Park: Grizzly Bear. A minor spot and hint of haze is noted, but this brilliant Gem offers great radiance and a charming cameo nature." The Cook Islands, like many small, impoverished nations, has contracted with private mints to produce and market a large variety of commemoratives marketed in lands far from the issuing country. The SCWC states that this NCLT was sold with a multicolor bear, altho this example clearly lacks this feature. [[Cook Islands]] issued several dozen NCLT's honoring various American national parks.

''Recorded mintage:'' 1,000.
