Comment

The "Fabrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre - Real Casa de la Moneda" (FNMT-RCM) has just minted in 2021 the first Spanish 'bullion' coin. It was issued in December 2021. It has a limited edition of 12,000.
The finishing technique of the coin is "Reverse Proof", that means coins feature a frosted field and a mirrored device.
The Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) is a wild cat species endemic to the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe. It is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. In the 20th century, the Iberian lynx population had declined because of overhunting, poaching, fragmentation of suitable habitats, and the population decline of its main prey species, the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), caused by myxomatosis and rabbit haemorrhagic disease
