The mint also states:
The production of this magnificent coin has been made possible only through a minting technique known as Bi-Metal-Plus. The process begins with an 32.15 oz copper core within two layers of 999 fine silver. This results in a large 80mm diameter, double that of a normal collectible bullion coin. The 32.15 oz copper core adds tremendous bulk and weight without the extra cost of an equivalent amount of silver weight. This also allows for the super ultra-high relief strike that brings alive the coin's incredibly detailed design.
