2020 RAM REDBACK SPIDER 1oz Silver BU Coin

2020 RAM REDBACK SPIDER 1oz Silver BU Coin

Overview:

This 2020 1oz Silver Redback Spider Bullion Coin celebrates one of Australia’s most notorious arachnids—the Redback spider (Latrodectus hasselti). Known for its striking beauty and dangerous venom, the Redback can be found across Australia, often hiding in dark areas of homes and gardens. Its distinctive red stripe and hourglass marking make it easily recognizable.

Despite their fearsome reputation, Redbacks rarely attack humans unless provoked. An antivenom has been available since 1956, and there have been no recorded fatalities from their bites since then. While they inspire fear, Redbacks are an integral part of Australia's ecosystem as both predators and prey.
