	1999 polar bear (BU) is part of the MAPLE series, not this wildlife (proof) series!
	Mintages shown are likely incorrect. RCM doesn't have accurate figures! See 1998/1999 annual reports.
	*2000 issue definitely limited to 600 sets (although there could* have been individual pieces sold outside of sets?).**
