Sap might have a point - it might be the wrong currency to start off with.
To start out with, I decided to look at the history of Nigeria and it seemed that there was some internal conflict within Nigeria in 1994. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Nigeria
The real question becomes, how many of them were successfully sold? I can only imagine that they would have been out of reach for many people even at 62USD. This reminds me of silver coins from Uzbekistan - the early issues are just absurdly hard to find for some reason. I presume that none were marketed overseas and what is available are often coins from diplomats or expensive gifts. I suspect this coin would have fallen to similar fate.
