Banksy’s Wharf Rat was discovered for the first time in 2010 on San Francisco’s Pier 39 on Fisherman’s Wharf. The art piece features a rat digging its way out of the tunnel, painted on a metal door, right next to the Alcatraz Boat Tour station. However, the City of San Francisco Department of Public Works painted over the door, and everyone thought the street art had been destroyed.

It has been 11 years since everyone thought Banksy’s Wharf Rat masterpiece was lost or destroyed, until today. The art piece has been found by a Banksy fan and was sent to specialized restoration facilities, according to the official website of the NFT team who’s listing this art piece.

Under the observation of a  professional within the American Society of Appraisal, Banksy’s Wharf Rat is worth more than $700,000.
