Considered one of the best looking cards, the "Toucan" was issued in 2002. It's also known as the "Commitment to Origins" or the "Maps card." The card shows a map of Java and other coffee growing regions, including the definition of coffee and highlighted with a toucan bird that gives it the completed tropical feel. The card was available in 2002 at the same time as the "Nations" card, so not many of each were produced and now are highly collectable.
