Product description

Add one of Australia’s most colourful native insects to your collection with the 2014 $1 Leichhardt’s Grasshopper Carded Coin from the Royal Australian Mint’s popular Bright Bugs series.

Designed by Aaron Baggio, the reverse features Leichhardt’s Grasshopper surrounded by native foliage. Its striking red, orange, black and blue colouring makes it one of the most visually distinctive designs in the six-coin collection.

Named after Australian explorer Ludwig Leichhardt, this remarkable grasshopper is native to northern Australia and is especially associated with Kakadu National Park and the Arnhem Land region.

Struck from aluminium bronze with a coloured frosted uncirculated finish, the coin remains housed in its original themed presentation card featuring detailed artwork and information about the grasshopper.

A fantastic addition for collectors of Australian $1 coins, coloured coins, Royal Australian Mint carded releases, wildlife coins and the complete Bright Bugs series.
