This specimen was lot 969 in Sincona sale 90 (Zurich, May 2024), where it sold for 550 CHF (about US$727 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"CHINA Volksrepublik, 100 Yuan 1989, Goldener Tiger. Bedrohte Tierarten, Serie I. NGC PF69 ULTRA CAMEO. (people's republic of China, one hundred yuan of 1989, golden tiger. Endangered Species, Series I. Proof.)"
Wikipedia comments, "The South China tiger is a population of the Panthera tigris tigris subspecies that is native to southern China. The population mainly inhabited the Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. It has been listed as Critically Endangered on the China's Red List of Vertebrates and is possibly extinct in the wild since no wild individual has been recorded since the late 1980s. In the late 1990s, continued survival was considered unlikely because of low prey density, widespread habitat degradation and fragmentation, and other environmental issues in China."
