2015 1oz Silver Redback Spider Map Shaped Coin - Mintage: 6,000

Discover one of Australia’s most distinctive and feared native species with the 2015 Redback Spider Australian Map-Shaped Silver Coin, struck by The Perth Mint.

Made from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver, this legal-tender $1 coin is innovatively shaped like the Australian continent. Its coloured reverse portrays a redback spider crawling across a rock, accompanied by the inscription REDBACK SPIDER, The Perth Mint’s traditional “P” mintmark and the 2015 year-date.

The Redback Spider was the eighth release in the Australian Map-Shaped Coin Series. Although its original maximum mintage was 6,000, official Perth Mint records confirm a substantially lower declared mintage of only 3,552 coins worldwide.
