Comment

Coins and Species is a collection of coins made of pure silver (law 0.999). This collection consists of 10 coins with motifs of animals in danger of extinction in Mexico and an album to collect them. It is a limited edition and part of the resources raised from its sale will be used for conservation programs for species and their habitats.

"Aguila Arpia" is the largest and most powerful eagle in the world, the span of its wings (the distance from tip to tip of the outstretched wings) reaches 2 m. and his body 1 m. of length. It is easily recognized by its large size, by the presence of a crest of long black feathers on the head and by the color of its plumage, which on the head is gray, while on the belly and chest it is white; a black band separates the head from the chest, while the wings are black. Its beak is strong and hooked and its claws extremely powerful, with nails as long as a man's fingers.
