| Additional information |
Ghana has issued wildlife-themed coins under licensing arrangements for the international collector market since the early 2010s, with the African country lending its monetary authority to species entirely outside its borders — the Iberian lynx being native to Spain and Portugal, with no biological or political connection to Ghana whatsoever. These pieces are produced for the European bullion and novelty collector trade, not for Ghanaian circulation.
The Iberian lynx was declared the world's most endangered wild cat species in the early 2000s, with the population bottoming near 100 individuals before a captive breeding program in Spain began reversing the decline.
