For years, many coin collectors and investors have wondered why Bullion (investment) type coins are not issued in Spain. The fact is that if this question is so recurrent, it may be because there are really a large number of people interested in acquiring this type of piece in the national market, and surely in the international market as well.To date, the Fabrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre - Real Casa de la Moneda seems to have been an issue that it did not contemplate, but this year it will begin to explore this new market with the issuance of the first coin issued of this type, waiting for a satisfactory result that makes you include this type of coin in your annual numismatic program.
The first contact in this new numismatic journey will see the light at the end of the year, with the issuance of a coin composed of one ounce of pure gold (999.9 thousandths of fine gold) and the corresponding weight of one troy ounce (31.104 g ), standard weight in most coins of this type worldwide.
Without going into listing them, there are many countries that dedicate some of their investment currencies to capture the most representative animal of the country. In Spain it has also been decided that it is an animal that is linked with our country, the Iberian Lynx being the chosen one. Surely many have thought of the Bull. Without knowing anything, I venture to predict that if this type of currency is a success, in the next few years we may have the two animals in two different currencies.
FIRST ONE OUNCE SPANISH GOLD COIN FOR INVESTMENT
An image of the head of an Iberian lynx is reproduced on the reverse of the coin. On your left the mint mark and the year of minting 2021. At the top of the coin, in two lines, the face value 1.5 EURO. At the bottom and in a circular direction, the legend LINCE IBÉRICO. The motifs and legends are surrounded by a beading of pine nuts.
On the obverse of the coin, the motifs and legends of a real of eight, of the columnar type are reproduced: two hemispheres under the royal crown, flanked by the columns of Hercules with the motto PLUS VLTRA, all over a sea with waves. In the upper part, in a circular sense and in capital letters, appears the legend FELIPE VI REY DE ESPAÑA. At the bottom of the coin, in a circular direction, the legend 1 OUNCE 999.9 GOLD. The motifs and legends are surrounded by a beading of pine nuts.

Reflections of a collector
An issue that I consider very important in this new Spanish journey in investment coins, thinking of increasing its success among investors and collectors, is the change of design on an annual basis, although it is always the Lince, that each year a new image is shown . The investor may not care if the same thing is shown each year, but for those of us who are rather collectors, variety is important, the same design every year ends up being monotonous and boring, at least for me. Being as I say, I believe that a variety of representations could bring together collectors and investors, affecting a greater number of people interested in acquiring them.
For years to come it will also be very important, if this coin works, to have versions of one ounce of silver, so that people with less purchasing power can also include it in our collections.
Buy the coin
For those interested in buying the currency, my recommendation is to go to professional numismatic distributors of the FNMT - Real Casa de la Moneda. In the blog you have three of absolute confidence. You can get in touch with them to find out the availability they are going to have, and if it is possible to make a reservation. If you are going to buy the currency, try to secure it as soon as possible, I think 12,000 coins for the whole world will be few and will run out quickly.
