According to the images and sources around the web on LEGO fan sites, only 5000 pieces of the White Metal Krana-Kal exists. They were inserted back in 2003, randomly into Bohrok-Kal in sets and sold all over the world. This particular one as shared by the seller indicates that it was given to him by an ex-LEGO VIP Employee hence it does not come with the pouch and finders card.

While the White Metal Krana-Kal is one must-have in a collector's mask collection, there are in fact various even harder to find masks released. Some of what we are aware of are listed below.

. Platinum Avohkii Mask of Light. There's only a single piece that exists out there and was given out as a prize in Cartoon Network's Toonami Sweepstakes back in October 2003. The (current) owner of the piece and its origins and how he acquired can be found here. Interesting story and a good read from the owner itself in the forums and links.

14K Solid Gold Kanohi Hau Mask. There are only 5 pieces that exist and also part of a contest giveaway in 2002. One of the owners shared his recent acquisition on Reddit.

White Metal Krana-Kal. This article is what you see. 5000 pieces officially and potentially some owned by LEGO employees that are out of the 5000?

Vacuum Metal Krana-Kal. An unknown number of pieces as the production and promotions was abandoned and what was made were given out to Protosquad members (Bionicle Fan Clubs).
