KIRIBATI - SOMOA. 500 Dollars - 500 Tala, 2000. EuroMint (Bochum). PCGS PROOF-69 Deep Cameo.
Fr-11 & Fr-40; KM-36 & KM-136. Mintage: 99; AGW: 5 oz. Weight: 155.5 gms. One of the more unique modern commemorative issues, this two piece "coin" has dual legal tender status in both Samoa and Kiribati. A cut (imitating the international date line that separates the two island nations) divides the coin and determines the country of monetization for each half. This piece is nearly flawless and has no evidence of handling on each of the deep cameo halves. An interesting and RARE piece for the lovers of all things curious or gold. Includes original certificate of authenticity.
Estimate: $9000 - $13000
