Interesting fact

The Iberian wolf coin is a non-circulating coin, meaning it's not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item. It's made of silver (.925) and weighs 14 grams. Did you know that the Iberian wolf is an endangered species? According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Iberian wolf population has been declining due to habitat loss, human persecution, and poaching. In fact, there are only around 1,500 individuals left in the wild. The Portuguese government has taken steps to protect the species, including the creation of protected areas and conservation programs. By purchasing this coin, you're not only owning a unique piece of numismatic history but also supporting conservation efforts.
