Tuvalu 2010 - 1$ Deadly & Dangerous - Eastern Brown Snake - 1 oz Silver Proof Coin

Perth Mint honors one of the Australian most dangerous creatures – the infamous Eastern Brown Snake with the nest release of the bestselling Deadly and Dangerous series.

The Eastern Brown Snake is fast and aggressive. Its venom is said to be the second most toxic venom of all land snakes in the whole world. The Eastern Brown Snake is considered to be dangerous to man. Bites from this species of snake have caused death within minutes with even young snakes being potentially able to deliver enough venom in a single bite to kill 20 adult persons. The Eastern Brown Snake grows to an average length of 1.4 meters.

The reverse of the coin shows the image of the Eastern Brown Snake with a frightening full-color appreciation. The obverse includes the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, “Tuvalu”, and the legal tender value of the coin. Capturing the aggressiveness of this reptile upon the 40.6mm flan, this flawless Silver Proof is an obvious choice for color coin collectors.

Every coin is comes in a special high-gloss timber case with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity confirming the limited mintage of the series.
