Botswana
Republic gold "Wild Hyena" 150 Pula 1978 MS68 PCGS, KM13, Fr-3. Conservation series. With a very low mintage of 664 pieces in this finish, the present example yields tremendous brilliance to the observer, with highly lustrous surfaces and an alluring golden-orange tone scattered throughout. Compare to a similar specimen, an NGC MS66, which realized a hammer of $3,500 [!] in mid 2012.
