This specimen was lot 29638 in Heritage sale 3040 (Chicago, April 2015), where it sold for $8,812.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "Republic gold Proof 100 Pounds AH1412 (1992) PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC. A superb example struck to commemorate wrestling in the summer Olympics, this virtually flawless offering showcases deeply-mirrored fields and impressive cameo contrast. With a mintage of just 99 pieces, this is a coin seldom encountered in the marketplace, especially at this premium grade designation." Egypt issued eight different types for the 1992 Olympics. The tiny mintage suggests the whole issue went to government insiders. The SCWC has only sketches of these, no photos.
Recorded mintage: 49 plus 99 proofs.
Specification: 17 g, .900 fine gold, 0.488 troy oz AGW.
Catalog reference: KM 718, Fr-239 (formerly Fr-151).
