Aureo sale 269, lot 636

This specimen was lot 636 in Aureo sale 269 (Barcelona, July 2015), where it sold for €3,600 (about US$4,651 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"* 1990. Cuba. 50 pesos. AU. XI Juegos Panamericanos - Volleyball. Acuñación de 15 ejemplares. Muy rara. Proof. (Cuba, fifty pesos of 1990, gold, eleventh Panamerican Games--Volleyball; mintage of 15 pieces, very rare, proof.)"

This type is listed in the SCWC but without a photo. Desperate for foreign exchange, Cuba has issued large numbers of NCLT's, many only vaguely related to Cuba.

Recorded mintage: 15, all proof.

Specification: 15.55 g, 0.999 fine gold, this specimen 15,55 g.

Catalog reference: Fr-55, KM 323.
