Comment
KM-unlisted, Proof 68 Ultra Cameo NGC, obverse dated 1974 as on KM71 and reverse of 1975 featuring the Amazon Parrot, KM77. Very rare pattern with frosted details on the obverse. (NGC has noted the obverse as 1975, rather than the reverse.)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 100 Dollars (Mule, Pattern) 1974 from The Bahamas made of Gold (.500) weighing 18 g is that it is a rare and unique coin, with only a few known examples in existence. It was created as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a prototype or sample, and its mintage is believed to be extremely low. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a high price at auction.
