Republic gold "World Fisheries Conference" Proof 25 Rupees 1983 PR70 Ultra Cameo NGC, London mint, KM53b. Mintage: 100. A perfect, sharply cameoed example of this type that features a fish cage. As a type, this issue appears from time to time in copper-nickel and silver, but in gold, it's very rare; the first example we've seen and the finest of two example graded by NGC to date.
