Description for collectors

The international Conservation series of the 1970s is among the most distinctive commemorative issues of that era. Pakistan chose the Astor Markhor as its central motif, elegantly combining natural and cultural references. The .900 gold construction, weighing nearly one troy ounce, provides a solid foundation. At the same time, the low mintage of 902 pieces underscores the sought-after market position of this type within the series.
