The Lynx Challenge (Defi Lynx) was a promotion ran by Atari France in 1991 that involved players betting lapel pins on whether they would win in head-to-head game challenges. These pins were included in some French variants of Atari Lynx games and could also be ordered directly from Atari France by presenting a proof of purchase.
During this promotion period a number of Lapel Pin Coffret / Display Cases were also made. Also, see detailed Defi Lynx '100' series Coffret Box Dimensions.
