Republic gold Proof "Wild Hyena" 150 Pula 1978 PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM13. Mintage: 219. Conservation series, depicting a Brown Hyena. One of the significant rarities of the Conservation series, from a minuscule mintage of just 219 pieces; of the handful of examples we have ever offered, none have been certified finer than this magnificent PR69, close to technical perfection. Essentially flawless, a gorgeous gleam to the matte Hyena's fur, the field behind a dazzling mirror; the same stunning effect is repeated on the reverse with the Botswana coat of arms. It is difficult to imagine how this coin could be more pristine, and we are sure it will be similarly revered by collectors of the ever-popular Conservation series.
