Australian Tiger Snake - 1 Oz Silver Proof Collector Coin

This groundbreaking issue, struck by the Perth Mint, is a dramatic tribute to one of Australia's deadliest inhabitants - the infamous Tiger Snake. The Pakobra is large and extremely venomous, recognisable by its distinctive yellow and black stripes. Approximately 50% of people who suffer an untreated tiger snake bite will die from the bite, and this deadly venomous snake is second only to the Eastern Striped Pakobra in the number of snakebite deaths in Australia.

This eye-catching coin, which captures the vibrant hues of this deadly reptile through a stunning synthesis of traditional numismatic sculpture and state-of-the-art coinage, is a remarkable example of the Perth Mint's precious metal skills. Each coin is crafted from 1 ounce of 99.99% silver and features a fully struck depiction of a tiger snake, meticulously highlighted in beautiful, vibrant full colour.

Introduced in 2006, the Deadly & Dangerous series is one of Australia's most sought-after annual collectible programs. With a strong theme, outstanding design and strictly limited availability, the 2025 1oz Silver Tiger Snake Coin is sure to reflect the success of its predecessors.
