Iberic Lynx (Normal)
The coin dedicated to the Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus), the most threatened feline on the planet, is the first of the Threatened Species series. This new series of collection coins has been created by the INCM with the aim of raising awareness and promoting the preservation of Portuguese fauna and flora at risk of extinction.
Part of the profits earned by this coin is donated to the Environmental Fund which integrates the Fund for the Conservation of Nature and Biodiversity, currently managed by the Institute for Nature and Forest Conservation.
Notes: Normal finishing coins are produced to enter into circulation and obtained with high speed coining and packaging processes. The contact between the coins of each batch might induce small scratches on the surface. These scratches are not admissible as cause for a complaint. Any other complaint due to defects on these coins has to be evaluated on a case by case basis.
