The next coin prepared for us by the Austrian Mint, on October 18, is the fifth in the series Vida Silvestre, in which animals typical of the European continent are represented in their natural habitat.
After those dedicated in 2013 to the Red Deer, in 2014 the Wild Boar, in 2015 to the Grouse and in 2016 the Red Fox, this year it is the turn of the Alpine Ibex. Like all coins in this series, it has a face of 100 euros and is minted in gold.
Hunted almost to extinction in the 19th century because their blood and horns were thought to have healing powers, today the Alpine Ibex has about 45,000 copies. After a gestation period of five to six months, Alpine goat goats are born between May and June. Immature males and females live together in a herd, young males form a separate herd as they approach maturity. In mating season the adults look for females and try to gain control over the herd in a show of strength.
The obverse of the coin shows a wild goat of the profile alps surrounded by plants of primroses and flowers of the snows. Like the rest of the coins in the series, the underside of the front is exquisitely decorated with a beautiful design that gives the series its distinctive character.
The reverse of the coin shows a goat with its calf on a steep rock, under the eyes of a marmot.
