This specimen was lot 31069 in Heritage auction 3096 (Dallas, TX, March 2021), where it sold for $3,960. The catalog description[1] noted, "France: Republic gold Proof "Yves Saint Laurent" 500 Francs 2000 PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC, Paris mint. A visually stunning commemorative issue celebrating Yves Saint Laurent, with an homage to popular motifs utilized by the famed French fashion designer. From the Paramount Collection." Starting in the 1980's, the Paris mint issued so many NCLT's that the standard catalogs had to drop them to keep the books a manageable size. This one was struck to honor Yves Saint Laurent, who helped revive French fashion after World War Two. It was accompanied by a quarter ounce 50 francs (KM 1236).
Recorded mintage: 1,000.
Specification: 31.10 g, 0.999 fine gold, AGW 0.999 oz.
