For the coin above, there should be two variations:
Regular - mintage 80.000
Proof - mintage 12.000

After some further research there seems to be also a design difference. The proof coin has smaller lettering on the obverse and includes the legend (.999 Ag 1 oz):

So the Numista entry has the photo of the regular strike, but the description of the Proof coin.

Good observation.

Due to the difference in the legends, an additional page was created. If anything is wrong between these two pages, please do not hesitate to point it out:
