Engraved in a private American workshop, The Patrick Mint, in Santa Rosa, California. It is part of a set of nine subjects on the theme of "wildlife protection" (here the "Yellow-nosed Albatross" for Reunion Island). All the coins in this series were struck in fine proof. Only 50 sets of 9 coins of this theme were finally struck by this private workshop.
