| Additional information |
This piece belongs to Spain's Fauna Ibérica series, a long-running program launched in the 1990s to fund wildlife conservation awareness through collector coinage. The Iberian wolf population had been devastated through most of the twentieth century by government-sponsored extermination campaigns — the species was legally hunted as vermin in Spain until protections began arriving piecemeal in the 1970s and 1980s, with the southern populations never recovering.
Mintage for individual Fauna Ibérica issues was tightly capped, and most were sold directly to collectors rather than entering circulation at face value.
