DEADLY AND DANGEROUS SERIES

If there’s one spider you really don’t want to meet it’s the Funnel Web Spider.  Considered one of the world’s most deadly spiders, one sight of this big black baddie will evoke fear in even the bravest of souls.

Coloured Reverse Design

The coin’s reverse depicts a deadly Funnel Web Spider against a coloured background of its web and leaves.  The inscription AUSTRALIA’S FUNNEL WEB SPIDER is included in the design.

Tuvalu Legal Tender

Issued as legal tender of Tuvalu, the coin depicts the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and the monetary denomination.

The coin is housed in a high-gloss timber presentation case and shipper emblazoned with the warning ‘DANGER’.

Continuing the incredibly popular Deadly and Dangerous series, this sensational release portrays Australia’s Funnel Web Spider. Recognised by their glossy black head and thorax, the insect’s size ranges from 1.5 to 5 centimetres in length – dependant on the species.Australia’s Funnel Web Spiders live in burrows in sheltered positions below ground, in stumps, tree trunks, rockeries, or other similarly sheltered positions above the ground. Their burrows are lined with a tell-tale sock of opaque white silk and several strong strands of silk radiating from the entrance. In water, the Funnel Web Spider can survive for up to thirty hours, so if you spot a spider in a swimming pool don’t be tempted to touch it.  The mature male will wander at night, looking for a mate, and is the deliverer of the deadliest toxin.
