Those "80,000" and "100,000" figures are mintages, obviously. Is it colorized? Proof or MS (I guess a piedfort is a proof, isn't it?) My Krause doesn't give illustrations of those.

A 1997 2 oz. silver piedfort Auspicious Matter (that's what the caught carp symbolizes) in a NGC PF-69 slab is currently offered for $149 by a reliable seller.
