Comment
Con el mono de Berbería de Gibraltar, está comenzando una nueva serie de monedas de inversión. La emisión también llegará pronto como una moneda de platino de 1 oz. La moneda consiste en 1 onza de plata fina en calidad de acuñación sin circular y está estrictamente limitada a solo 50,000 piezas en todo el mundo.Interesting fact
The Barbary Ape depicted on the coin is actually a misnomer, as the animal is not an ape at all, but a species of macaque native to the Mediterranean region. The coin's design features an image of the animal sitting atop the Rock of Gibraltar, which is a prominent landmark in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. Despite its name, the Barbary Ape is not actually native to Gibraltar, but was introduced to the territory by humans in the 18th century. Today, the species is considered an invasive species and has been known to cause damage to local crops and wildlife.
