| Additional information |
Germany's ongoing Wildlife series has produced gold issues annually since 2009, each dedicated to a native species. The Eurasian lynx was hunted to extinction in Germany by the late 19th century and has only returned through active reintroduction programs beginning in the Bavarian Forest in the 1970s — making it an unusual choice in that the animal depicted is not truly wild in Germany but deliberately managed.
The 3.89g specification is not arbitrary; it derives from a one-eighth ounce Troy standard adopted to keep the face value nominally meaningful against gold spot.
