The Gold Cartridge

I am not sure about how many times the Mike Tyson`s Punch-Out!! cartridge for the NES was sold. Additional there is also a number of the 1990 published Punch-Out!! cartridges. But there are just a few Punch-Out!! cartridges that are very very rare and outstanding.
Do you remember the cartridges for "The Legend of Zelda" and "Zelda II: The Adventure of Link" ? These cartridges were golden and looked very noble. But as they were common stuff they were sold regularly. Not to be compared to what is coming next:

I do not know very much about that cartridge. Can you help?´?
According to the label it was produced in Japan in 1987. It was designed for the Famicom, the Japanese version of the NES (??).

"It is one of the 5 rarest Famicom cartridges ever produced! This game has never been for sale on norma market,it is a "not forsale"item! You could win in Mairo golf contest,in Japan! There is no "dream match" vs Mike Tyson,because this game is PUNCH OUT,not Mike Tyson's Punch Out! :)The cartridge is gold painted,and i think there is about 5000/10000 copies in the world!" -extract from an ebay auction!!
