Comment

Royal Presentation Proof Set (1988): this set was presented by His Highness Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Al-Salim Al-Sabah, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of the State of Kuwait, on his official visit to the USA July 1988, and includes 4 gold proof coins: KM#17, KM#19, KM#21 and KM#X7. Housed in a custom fitted box with the inscription engraved on a brass plate. This set was presented to the President of the USA, but since the President can't accept gifts such as this, it was auctioned by the GAO.
