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.

The jaguar is the largest feline that can be found in America; adult males weigh up to 150 kg. and they measure 180 cm. in length plus 70 cm. the length of the tail. Its body is robust and its fur is short and generally has an ocher yellow color, covered with large black spots, which are grouped on the back and sides, forming rosettes with a black spot in the center; the chest and throat are white and are also stained. Although they are very rare, there are also black jaguars.
