This specimen was lot 30691 in Heritage sale 3049 (Long Beach, September 2016), where it sold for $2,820. The catalog description[1] noted, "Republic gold 'Fencing' 50 Pounds AH 1412 (1992) MS68 PCGS. Mintage: 49. Olympic issue struck for Fencing, with nearly pristine surfaces, lemon-tinged coloration, and a minuscule mintage figure. Rarely-offered and scarce in all regards." 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: 8.5 g, .900 fine gold.

Catalog reference: Fr-150; KM 709.
