A total of 9,000 medals were produced in the following materials and numbering: gold (numbered 001-1000), silver (numbered 1001-4000), and bronze (numbered 5001-9000).

Jaguar Casting Company, situated in New York, was the mint responsible for striking these commemorative medals. The company is led by Joseph Nakashian, who embarked on his career in the jewelry industry in March of 1976. After accumulating over three decades of experience, he reestablished Jaguar Casting Company in 2005. The firm has since gained a reputation for high-quality casting, serving a diverse clientele across the United States and the Caribbean. The design of the medals was the work of artist Grigoriy Gevorkyan, adding both artistic and historical significance to the pieces.
